The Nightingale: A Fantasy Novella

language ( May 1, 2020)
King Gregor of Eriari is on the verge of his sixtieth year. The kingdom is tense, awaiting the selection of his heir from among the three royal siblings. Kari understands the feeling all too well. She has only recently learned that she will not inherit her family’s smithy, despite her skill being far superior to that of her younger brother. Everything is a mess and nothing seems fair. Princesses can inherit the kingdom, but village girls can’t even take over a forge. Kari wonders if she will ever find a place for herself. That is, until she stumbles upon something in the royal forest that changes everything…

A fantasy reimagining of the Hans Christian Andersen classic, The Nightingale is an epic tale of magic and intrigue, courageous heroes and cunning villains. Fast-paced and filled with colorful characters, this is one you won’t want to put down.

From readers of the First Edition:

“Williams stays true to the fairytale style of the source material, adding a dash of magic and palace intrigue for good measure. This could be a great book for young readers though it's also enjoyable for adults.”

“The characters are warm and relatable, and the action is believable. If you like a slash-em-up, this isn't for you. If you like real people working to make their world better, give it a try.”

“This reimagination is awesome, and its fast pace keeps you hooked to the end.”

“This retelling of the fairy tale 'The Nightingale' is filled with deception, intrigue and a cool cast of characters.”
