Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
This tale of love, grief, and a young woman’s quest for vengeance offers “a re-envisioning of the fantasy genre rich in imagination” (Quill & Quire). An Aurora Award Finalist and Locus Award Nominee for Best First Novel At eighteen, Jaele’s life is shattered when her family is murdered by a band of Raiders, members of a long-accursed race. Overwhelmed by rage and grief, alone for the first time in her life, and fueled by childhood myths of a warrior queen, Jaele sets out on an epic quest for vengeance. Her journey takes Jaele through a kaleidoscope of cultures, some compassionate, some fierce, all remarkably fantastic yet potently real. As she makes her difficult way, Jaele sheds her innocence, but none of her experiences can prepare her for her ultimate confrontation with her enemy. “While still working within the genre parameters of standard fantasy, Sweet has created something unique; a thoughtful, meditative, distinctly feminine fantasy novel, a rich fever-dream of a book.” —Quill & Quire
