The Wolves of War

The Clans once kept their own gods and customs, until invaders from the north came with fire and blood. Now they live as a conquered people, and Ivan wants nothing from wars or kings except to keep his family safe. Above all he guards his daughter Halia, who has been trapped in her own body since birth. By night she dreams of running with wolves and talking with the fae of the forest, and many whisper that she is cursed. Her awakening powers may be all that stands between her family and the coming storm.

Drawing on Slavic mythology, Gwynne sets rival princes and an iron-toothed witch amid the clash of great nations, with old magic and hard sacrifice at every turn. For lovers of big, dark, heartfelt epic fantasy, this is a fresh world from a writer who makes battles hurt.
