![]() Running after a retreating Iri in mid-battle, Eelyn loses focus and is captured by the Riki, who take her to their mountain village as a dýr. Until the day she witnesses her adored brother Iri, a brother she watched die in battle five years previously, fighting alongside their rivals. She fights bravely, loves her clan fiercely, and doesn’t think twice when it comes to viciously cutting down the enemy. ![]() Her life is brutal and savage, but uncomplicated. Seventeen-year-old Eelyn is a ferocious warrior, trained to fight alongside her Aska clansmen in an ancient rivalry against the Riki clan. Once you’ve calmed your pulse after that explosive opening, there are complicated family dynamics and a delicious enemies-turned-lovers romance waiting to be devoured, which is exactly what you’ll do with this book. Yet there’s more to this Vikings-esque story than epic tribe wars and violent battles, though of course that’s the immediate draw as the story opens with a breathless fight between two opposing clans hell bent on avenging their ancestors. Adrienne Young’s YA debut is a fierce tale of love, loss and loyalties forged and divided. ![]()
