... 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. 

Stone takes on responsibility for the girl against his tribe’s wishes, 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 kidnapped by an ancient order, forced into deals with dark spirits, 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.
