When a third enemy attacks the two enemy tribes are forced to join forces in order to survive.The story is fairly simple but I enjoyed the setting and characters. I read this whole book in just a couple sittings and had lots of trouble putting it down.The main story is about a young warrior woman who finds out that her brother (who is supposed to be dead) is fighting with her tribe’s mortal enemy. I enjoyed this quite a bit there’s a lot of action and I loved the setting and characters. The story stands alone well but is supposed to have at least one companion novel which is scheduled to release in 2019. This was a well done historical fantasy set in a Viking-like society.

Driven by a love for her clan and her growing love for Fiske, Eelyn must confront her own. They must do the impossible: unite the clans to fight together, or risk being slaughtered one by one. She is given no choice but to trust Fiske, her brother’s friend, who sees her as a threat. But when the Riki village is raided by a ruthless clan thought to be a legend, Eelyn is even more desperate to get back to her beloved family. Until the day she sees the impossible on the battlefield-her brother, fighting with the enemy-the brother she watched die five years ago.įaced with her brother's betrayal, she must survive the winter in the mountains with the Riki, in a village where every neighbor is an enemy, every battle scar possibly one she delivered.

Her life is brutal but simple: fight and survive. Raised to be a warrior, seventeen-year-old Eelyn fights alongside her Aska clansmen in an ancient, rivalry against the Riki clan.
