I decided to dig deep into my future purchases shelf. There was an overwhelming amount to pick from, but I picked one that I keep forgetting about. Yet when I find it I always get so excited about it!
Sasha by Joel Shepherd
Genre: High Fantasy
Series: A Trail of Blood & Steel, book 1
Spurning her royal heritage to be raised by the great warrior, Kessligh, her exquisite swordplay astonishes all who witness it. But Sasha is still young, untested in battle and often led by her rash temper. In the complex world of Lenayin loyalties, her defiant wilfulness is attracting the wrong kind of attention.
Lenayin is a land almost divided by its two faiths: the Verenthane of the ruling class
es and the pagan Goeren-yai, amongst whom Sasha now lives. The Goeren-yai worship swordplay and honour and begin to see Sasha as the great spirit—the Synnich—who will unite them. But Sasha is still searching for what she believes and must choose her side carefully.
When the Udalyn people—the symbol of Goeren-yai pride and courage—are attacked, Sasha will face her moment of testing. How will she act? Is she ready to lead? Can she be the saviour they need her to be?
Looks like this book actually got a makeover! I didn't even notice! I really like the new cover.
This really sounds like the adult version of the Song of the Lioness series.
I tell you this year I will get these books and read them!
