Daughter of the Beast

"Fear not the beasts in your stories.

For anything can be slain with a stout blade...

And a stouter heart."



When her sleepy village is raided by the Vulkari, the fearsome warrior women of the Ancient Wilds, only Zyntael Fairwinter is taken.

Claimed as a daughter by their infamous matriarch, Zyntael is trained to hunt, to fight, and to kill.

In the company of their unruly young, she might find sisterhood. In their unique customs and beliefs, she might find beauty. And in the violence of their raids, she might even find a path to glory.

But it is a glory that must be earned in the blood of those Zyntael once called her own. For the Vulkari are not like other women.

The Vulkari are monsters.



Steeped in Slavic Myth, and appealing to adult and young adult readers alike, Daughter of the Beast is a rich and unique fantasy coming-of-age story. It is the first in an exciting debut trilogy by E C Greaves, which blends action and adventure, with themes of belonging, identity, and one's place in the world.¿
