Warrior of the Wild cover

In this gripping standalone adventure, Rasmira faces the challenge of killing a god to reclaim her place in her community in Warrior of the Wild.

In Warrior of the Wild, readers are taken on a thrilling journey through a Viking-inspired world where bravery and determination are put to the ultimate test. The story follows Rasmira, the daughter of a chieftain, who has dedicated her life to becoming a warrior. As the chosen heir, she has trained rigorously, but when her coming-of-age trial is sabotaged, she faces unexpected exile. Banished to the treacherous wilderness filled with monsters, Rasmira must confront her fears and prove her worth.

To reclaim her place in her community, Rasmira embarks on a harrowing quest that seems almost impossible. The stakes are high as she is tasked with killing a god who demands violent tributes from her village. This oppressive force has ruled over her people, and Rasmira’s mission is not just about her redemption, but also about freeing her community from the god's tyranny. The narrative is rich with action, and the world-building immerses the reader in a landscape of danger and adventure.

Throughout Warrior of the Wild, themes of resilience, courage, and the fight against injustice resonate deeply. Rasmira's journey is not only a physical battle but also an emotional one, as she learns what it truly means to be a leader and a warrior. This standalone adventure promises to captivate fans of young adult fantasy with its compelling characters and gripping plot twists.
