A Lake of Feathers and Moonbeams

By Dax Murray
A Lake of Feathers and Moonbeams by Dax Murray digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

How many half-truths can loyalty shoulder before it breaks from the weight of deception on its back?


A sweeping LGBTQ and polyamorous retelling of "Swan Lake"!

Strange things can be said of the forest that spans the border of two kingdoms long at war. An evil sorcerer has made it his dominion, or an elegant enchantress has claimed it as her domain and grants wishes to those who chance upon her, or maybe the forest is guarded by an ancient and wrathful spirit.

But Katya calls the forest home, living a life of magic and charms with her partner Ivan. But a threat looms over their forest, some darkness and danger that Ivan swears to protect her from. Katya finds herself caught up in a web of grudges and deception spanning generations, but most dangerous of all is the beautiful princess who stumbled into their woods. A princess who sets Katya's heart fluttering with both desire and fear.

As forces rally to rescue the princess or go to war, Katya must take measure of her own powers and decide what she is willing to sacrifice. Will she retreat to the safety of what's familiar or give up everything she knows to spread her wings and fly?

“dnf @ 49% This book gives fast-paced a whole new meaning, because it wasn't just fast, it felt as if the narrator was in a rush. The romance was also fast, and very much insta-lovey. [POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD] Some examples: The book starts with Katya meeting Ivan and going to live with him because she had no home or memory. A couple of pages later they kiss (kind of out of nowhere, with no real build up) and become a couple. Then when Zhen gets captured and Katya is forced to pretend to be a hostage, they spend a couple days together and suddenly they're both infatuated with each other. Then last, but not least, Alexis and Zhen had previously exchanged a couple of letters and when they finally meet in person Alexis literally says: "She (Zhen) liked them. They had only spent an hour together at best, but Alexis was smitten. Possibly in love." The fact that the story felt so rushed made it boring in my opinion, and I couldn't connect with any character at all. The dialogues felt mostly awkward and unnatural, and I’ve found quite a few grammatical mistakes too. In general, I believe the book could have benefited from more editing. To end on a positive note, I very much liked the chapter art (I have a physical copy. I'm not sure if they're included in the digital edition as well).”

About Dax Murray

After realizing their dream of being a curmudgeonly hedgewitch in the woods of Western Pennsylvania was not possible due to the construction of an outlet mall, Dax took up a new form of sorcery, where they whispered to rocks in arcane languages and taught them how to spy on you, colloquially known as software engineering.

After an epic battle between the forces of Ethics and Student Loan Payments, Dax left that behind to join the magical order of word-placing. Today, they can be found waiting on the two gods (ie: cats) who have allowed them to live in their abode and use their word-magic to make others cry.

Dax studied political science and creative writing at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania and is a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association. When not writing, they can be found at the Crystarium in Norvrandt.
