Crown of the Stag

Valaria must unite the clans. If she fails, their way of life will die. None of the clans will heed the call to unite.

Old enemies are hard to form into allies, and Valaria, caught in the middle, is honor-bound to uphold her oath to two rival clans. Navigating politics has never been her strength. She'd rather wield an axe and have it all done with.

And uniting the clans feels impossible when Valaria can barely find her place among her own people. Opposition comes from all sides. The worst are the leaders who never wanted a female warrior in the first place and believe she's more trouble than she's worth.

When they meet again, Culland is the ally she needs, but his father is the greatest threat to her task. No one can trust Grannd, who's more power-hungry than all the clans put together. But the Hundar attacks are far from over.

It's only a matter of time before full war is waged. The clans have little time to prepare. They must either unite or face the Hundar alone, an impossible feat.

The solution is far from what Valaria would conceive on her own. But she and Culland may be the union that could bring them all together.
