About the Book

Karistina is a woman on the run. Blamed for the grisly death of her little sister – by her own father – she has a date with the gallows. Her father has reasons of his own for pinning the blame on her shoulders, and in their village, his word is the only law that matters. If she can’t run, she’s dead, and her other sister will be the one that pays a price worse than death.

When help comes from the strangest of places, she’s left with a choice: join forces with a mercenary with a gambling habit or be buried under her father’s lies. If that means hunting a goblin in the most dangerous jungle in the hemisphere, so be it.

Because it doesn’t matter if Kari did it.

It just matters if she can do it again.
