4 out of 5

This was a fun story, with enough twists to keep you reading. I wish we had gotten to explore more of the world, because both it and the magic system seem well-developed. It’s hard not to love Rena and her independent spirit. Of course, Black Tail was also wonderful, and Lord Blackwood just made my skin crawl. With its political overtones, this isn’t your typical fantasy book, but there are fantastical overtones. A unique read with great characters (and fun animals too), that had me captivated for hours. 

Growling, a hound ventured closer to Black Tail. The sow rushed him, and he twisted away. The pig grabbed his tail and stomped on him. Whirling on her hind legs, she whacked him against the rock, making a streak of blood as the carcass slid down.

“Blast. I didn’t know pigs fought like that!” the peasant yelled when the dog lay lifeless.

 “Stop her. You’re the one who’s supposed to have elf powers.”

Renna unshadowed and stepped into the clearing, still holding her power tight inside her. The hoe, with its sharp metal blade, hung ready at her side. “Mayhap you might return to where you came from before my pig kills all your dogs.”

 “What’s a little thing like you going to do against two grown men, girlie?” The bumpkin sneered after one glance at her in her grimy clothes. “I’m a trained warrior from Linden’s camp—better get on your way, like a good little lamb.”

With a heft of the hoe, Renna asked, “You want to find out how dainty I am?”

 The guard’s hand rested on his plain belt, but he made no move. Her warrior’s braid hanging to the hem of her patched tunic should have been sign enough of her power, Renna thought. She seldom wore her veteran’s belt decorated with many gold insignia earned during the Rebellion that would have alerted them to trouble if she were in the habit of wearing the heavy thing.

He’s right. I am alone.
