Description
New York Times bestselling author David Farland—mentor to such hugely successful writers as Brandon Sanderson, James Dashner, Brandon Mull, and Stephenie Meyer—presents the first in a line of David Farland Discoveries, promising new authors whose work merits your special attention.
Legend tells of a sorceress, the Willow Woman, living within a white tower outside of the great city of Ethcabar, who owns a vast hoard of strange and curious items.
If you bring her something precious to add to her Collection, she may grant your wish ... or curse you. But when a vile lord from the sixth hell learns of the Willow Woman’s powerful gifts, he sends the demon Barbarus to bribe her.
By peering into her magical Moon Well, the Willow Woman glimpses an astonishing future—one that promises to bring her joy, though it could plunge the world into war and chaos.
A story of selfishness, friendship, betrayal, hope, and the search for God, The Feather and the Moon Well is a magical tale built within the fringe of Irish Mythology. It is the first novel by Shean Pao in the epic series,
In the Brilliance of Sun. “In The Feather and the Moon Well, Shean Pao draws upon traditional tales of the fairy realm for inspiration, while creating a world that is uniquely her own.
The resulting tale is richly drawn and completely seductive.
This is a story that bears reading again and again.”— David Farland, New York Times bestselling author of The Runelords series.

"“In The Feather and the Moon Well, Shean Pao draws upon traditional tales of the fairy realm for inspiration, while creating a world that is uniquely her own. The resulting tale is richly drawn and completely seductive. This is a story that bears reading again and again.”— David Farland, New York Times bestselling author of The Runelords series.
""I never thought I'd fall in love with a demon, or in this case, a deformed coblynau who thinks he's a demon. But, there I was rooting for poor Barbarus to win. This is a fantastic story. Deep and rich with characters so well drawn you can almost forget they are fictional. And for those who love Celtic/Irish mythology, you're in for a treat."" —D. W. Kavanaugh, Author
""The story drew me in right from the start. The author has a wonderful gift for painting an imaginative picture with her words, creating a world and characters that the reader can experience, care about and crave more; I am really looking forward to the story continuing in her next book in this series. In the story, Anarra is seeking freedom from her prison of loneliness, but that loneliness seems to be the source of her creative power and an integral part of her identity; and with freedom comes responsibility. A great read I enthusiastically recommend."" — Rick M - reader.
""If I could get a dime for every beautiful sentence, I’d probably be a billionaire. Shean Pao’s use of clever imagery makes this novel a very pleasant read. The authors beautiful way with words lays the groundwork for a fabulous series. Not to mention a great twist in the end that will have you wondering what the future of the characters hold for them. This story unfolded like an ancient fairy tale, and hopefully the adventures to come will unveil more on the characters and their past. The questions that are brought to light through this story filled with love, hatred, deceit, freedom and hope, are seldom enough to jump into this magical realm. Shean Pao thrives in story-telling and doesn't shy away from building her own authentic world. This novel was beautifully written from cover to cover. It's fantasy elements were exquisite and quite intriguing; drawing upon Irish Mythology. Not to mention that Fate and threads have never been used like this before.
