Ahe’ey

GENRE: Epic Fantasy
Romance

BLURB:
Morgan's
feminist books didn't prepare her to deal with the dashing Gabriel and the land
of Ahe'ey . . .
Morgan is
a dreamer, change maker and art lover. She is a feisty, slightly preachy,
romantic feminist full of contradictions and insecurities. Morgan uncovers a
world where women have the power, and where magic is no longer just a figment
of her wild imagination. Sounds like a dream, but it may, in fact, turn into a
nightmare.
The world
of the Ahe'ey challenges and subverts her views about gender, genes, and nature
versus nurture.
The
strong and uninvited chemistry between her and the dashing Gabriel makes
matters even more complicated. His stunning looks keep short-circuiting her
rational mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
Before she could process her actions, Morgan found
herself walking towards the door, signalling the guards to follow her. Outside,
the strange woman shouted.
“Where are the Ma’asai?”
“At the venue, in the Great Lawn in Central Park.
We enclosed the perimeter and created some security checkpoints,” said the
blonde man.
“You betrayed my direct orders, Bastian.”
“I received no such order my Sky. Please! We are
already here. It’s just for a few hours. We don’t want another incident like
the Met where he disclosed his skills to protect her. Let me prevent further—”
The blonde man stopped talking as he saw Morgan and the security guards
approach.
The woman wrapped her cinnamon-coloured cape around
her body, fully covering her weapons and her unusual outfit.
How odd. They look like they belong in a sci-fi TV
series, thought Morgan.
“Good afternoon,” Morgan said loudly. She flashed a
theatrical smile, trying to defuse the situation. “Hey, nice outfits. Is this
Comic-con weekend? I love Comic-con. Which character are you?” She looked up to
meet the eyes of the imposing Amazon. The woman looked at Morgan with an
expression of cold indifference.
For one moment, Morgan felt like she was looking
into a mirror. She recognised the texture and the fire of that hair. How
strange.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"In this
romantic tale, a champion of women's empowerment stumbles on a hidden--and
seemingly perfect--society. A bracing mix of emotionally and intellectually
honest fantasy." - Kirkus Reviews
"A compelling
and creative work of paranormal romance. Le Fey takes her characters to places
seldomly seen in fantasy fiction that readers will find empowering and
prescient. Ahe'ey is a fairly polarizing book. As an example of feminist
fantasy fiction, you won’t find much better than this. Ahe’ey is an
impressively thought-out story, with many original touches and a fairy-like
romance that will deeply satisfy readers of the genre." Self-Publishing
Review, ★★★★
"This book is a
thoughtful look at empowerment for women. At the same time, it's a rollicking
trip into a fantasy world complete with dragons, love and strength, and ideas
that really get you thinking. This book is highly recommended for all
ages." - HUGEOrange
"They're
flawed, real, and honest characters that can be easily related to. Ahe'ey is
the kind of novel society needs to read, to create inspiration and to make
people think. Ahe'ey is daring, complex, and honest. A must-read novel that
tackles heavy and real topics with a mix of serious and humorous, charm and
tragedy." - Reader's Favorite - ★★★★★
"Ahe'ey
contains a richly imagined world that raises complicated and timely questions
about our own. Jamie Le Fay's Ahe'ey is an action-packed love story that puts
forth a nuanced vision of gender stereotypes, body politics, and the dark side
of seeking perfection." - Foreword Clarion - ★★★★
OTHER PRAISE
"Jamie is a
fine writer with a rich imagination and is able to convey her strong feelings
about women’s rights, feminism, gender equality and other important matters of
injustice, primarily because she keeps us involved with the characters of her
strong story.” - Grady Harp, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer, Vine Voice -
★★★★★
"As a liberal
and committed feminist who is increasingly frustrated by the simplistic self-righteousness
of my own side, and the belief that all that is needed is for a few smart
people to start a revolution, I found "Ahe'ey" to be refreshingly
multi-sided, while also maintaining its core beliefs.” - E.P. Clark, Author - ★★★
