What this book is about
Eelyn has been fighting for the Aska clan her entire life. When she sees her brother — who died five years ago — fighting on the other side, she's captured and must live among her enemies, the Riki. Young's YA debut is visceral, atmospheric, and rich with Norse mythology and found-family warmth.
