Silverblind by Tina Connolly digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The stunning historical fantasy series that began with the Nebula finalist Ironskin continues in Tina Connolly's Silverblind.

Dorie Rochart has been hiding her fey side for a long time. Now, finished with University, she plans to study magical creatures and plants in the wild, bringing long-forgotten cures to those in need. But when no one will hire a girl to fight basilisks, she releases her shape-changing fey powers—to disguise herself as a boy.

While hunting for wyvern eggs, she saves a young scientist who's about to get steamed by a silvertail—and finds her childhood friend Tam Grimsby, to whom she hasn't spoken in seven years. Not since she traded him to the fey. She can't bear to tell him who she really is, but every day grows harder as he comes to trust her.

The wyverns are being hunted to extinction for the powerful compounds in their eggs. The fey are dying out as humans grow in power. Now Tam and Dorie will have to decide which side they will fight for. And if they end up on opposite sides, can their returning friendship survive?

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

“When I picked up this book, I had no idea it was the third in a series. Luckily it was written so that it could be read as a stand alone and what references were made to previous books, as well as the world building were easy to understand and follow. I'm not quite sure how to categorize this book... I would guess that Victorian Fantasy/AU would be the best description. 2 decades after the Human/Fae war, Dori is trying to make it on her own in a human world, while trying to hide her half-fae nature. She wants nothing more than to be allowed to be a field researcher for one of the firms that does... for lack of a better term... crypto-biology and studying Wyverns, Hydras and finding the herbal medical remedies that were "lost" after the war. But she finds that these firms do not want to hire women to be field researchers. If they hire them at all it's for secretarial and public relations/fundraising positions. So Dori uses her fae magic to change her appearance into a man and gets her dream job. Only the dream job is not studying wyverns, it's capturing their eggs for a purpose that she can only guess is nefarious. So she and her friends need to stop what's happening, while still trying to stay a step or two in front of the authorities, who have deemed all things Fae as illegal. It was an OK book. I'm not sure if I will look up the first two in the series or not. But I'm not sorry I read this one.”
