The Eye of Leviathan

by M.A. Carrick

In an alternate Spanish Golden Age, the Council of the Sea Beyond wields unrivaled power, exploiting the Otherworld’s precious resources. Estevan, a changeling faerie masquerading as a mortal, infiltrates the Council to uncover its secrets, risking exposure of his true nature. The Hungry Girl, a human girl whose place he took, grows up among the fae and later joins a group of Spanish explorers, only to witness their atrocities. Bound by a faerie pact, the two unlikely siblings must set aside their rivalry and combine their newfound powers to bring down Spain’s empire and protect the homes they love. The novel blends rich historical detail of the Inquisition and colonial Spain with lush fantasy, exploring themes of colonization, oppression, identity, and the clash between the material and the ethereal.
