Perfect for you if...

You love high-stakes survival fantasy where the protagonist's desperation forces clever tactics rather than brute strength.
You enjoy morally grey characters in harsh worlds where motherhood becomes an act of defiance.
You appreciate series that build slow-burn world-building through one woman's eyes as she discovers her own power.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots with constant action over long stretches of evasion and internal struggle.
You need romance to be central to the story rather than a traumatic backstory that sets everything in motion.
You want standalone fantasy rather than the first book of a planned series.

About this book

After a murder in the snow, Rebaa's life changes irrevocably. She finds herself alone and burdened with the Forbidden offspring of her murdered lover. Rebaa must learn to survive in a freezing, hostile world while hunted by a murderous chieftain who seeks to capture her and exploit her mysterious powers. Using her cunning and extraordinary gifts, Rebaa attempts to evade her pursuers and reach her ancestral home, hoping it will offer the salvation and safety she desperately needs. Yet she questions whether any true haven can exist for someone bearing The Forbidden.
