Of Fire & Fury (Children of Shadows)

Of Fire & Fury (Children of Shadows)

Born to a pacifist tribe, a girl named Rabid is at best an outcast; at worst, she's something even her own mother fears. When invaders from the north threaten the safety of her little village, this rebellious girl is the only option for a marriage alliance that could keep everyone alive. But the warrior clan wouldn’t want a weakling bride. At least, they shouldn’t. Stone takes on responsibility for the girl at the behest of spirits only he can hear. Rabid hopes this means she’ll gain a home that she desperately craves. Instead, she finds old runes that awaken a vision of a woman and a crown; and begins waking an ancient magic that has long been asleep. As war looms and Rabid races across the country to rally a fractured army, she finds herself face to face with darkness, forced into dangerous deals, and uncovering secrets from the past—all while trying to control a magic that threatens to rip her to shreds. If she fails, it won’t just be her life on the line.
