An action-packed standalone fantasy book featuring a badass heroine, warrior women, and mercenaries. A girl turned warrior is entrusted with one task: return with the dragon or lose everything.
Clan, family, duty—the tenets of the Oren-yaro are clear: you are swords first, servants first. Yet no one expects much from the youngest daughter, not even when your family is sworn to the wolves who rule the land. At an age when most of her sisters have wed and borne children, Anira remain nursemaid to a decrepit father and an ailing mother, forgotten by a world moving too fast for her liking. When her elder brother deserts Warlord Yeshin’s army, she is forced to step up to save her family from disgrace.
Plunged into a world of bloodshed, Anira becomes the unlikely last link to a tyrant’s plans as she is tasked with bringing home the first dragon their kingdom has seen in decades. The arrival of a mercenary band, hell-bent on the same goal, creates a rivalry between her and their stubborn, unyielding leader. With her family’s freedom on the line, Anira must risk vengeful ancients, debased rituals, and even her own sanity to seize the prize.
When death comes calling, who will pay the price for her allegiance?
Daughter of the Wolves is the second standalone in the series of fantasy book standalones BLACKWOOD MARAUDERS. You can start with that book, or you can begin your adventures with Anira! It all depends on what POV you’re in the mood for: Luc’s gentle soul, or Anira’s steadfast dutifulness.
