The Beast Warrior cover

In The Beast Warrior, Elin faces a dire crisis as the Toda are dying. She must uncover a conspiracy while protecting her family and principles.

In The Beast Warrior, ten years have elapsed since the events of its predecessor. Elin and Ialu, now married and parents to a young son, enjoy a tranquil life. Their peaceful existence is shattered when Elin is summoned to address a dire situation: the majestic Toda, once a source of strength and pride, are mysteriously dying, and no one seems to understand the cause.

As Elin delves deeper into the mystery, she unearths a sinister conspiracy that threatens not only the Toda but also her homeland. The stakes rise as an impending invasion looms, forcing Elin to confront difficult choices. She must navigate the treacherous waters of loyalty and duty, all while grappling with the moral implications of using her beloved beasts as instruments of war.

The Beast Warrior explores themes of sacrifice, love, and the struggle between personal convictions and the greater good. Elin's journey is one of resilience and determination as she seeks to protect her family and her values. Will she find a way to safeguard her homeland without betraying the creatures she holds dear, or will the pressures of war force her to compromise everything she believes in?
