Perfect for you if...

You love character-driven stories where the protagonist has to earn their place through sheer determination and resilience.
You're drawn to female-centred narratives rooted in history and mythology, especially stories that reimagine women as warriors and leaders.
You appreciate lyrical prose that makes ancient settings feel urgent and alive, even in a relatively short book.

Maybe not for you if...

You want sprawling epic fantasy with multiple POVs and complex magic systems; this is intimate and focused on one girl's arc.
You're looking for straightforward heroic triumph; this book grapples with the cost of war and offers no easy answers.
You prefer fast-paced plots with lots of external action; much of the tension here is internal and emotional.

About this book

Rain is a girl born during an ancient time of war, marked by destiny. Her mother, Alina, is queen of a tribe of female warriors living near the Black Sea, but refuses to acknowledge her daughter. Rain learns from her Amazon sisters to master the skills of her people: bone carving, fierce horsemanship, and archery. Determined to win her mother's love and become the next queen, Rain becomes a skilled fighter. However, a dream of a black horse foreshadows death and danger. As battles mount, Rain begins to envision a different future for her tribe—one of peace, mercy, and love—concepts that have no words in her language. She must find a way to transform her people's values before it is too late. Inspired by Greek legends and archaeological discoveries in Russia and Ukraine, this novel follows Rain's coming-of-age journey within a warrior society.
