No Man's Daughter - Paperback

Fugitive Kára, the bastard daughter of a legendary hero, builds a new life on the mountain frontier, until bounty hunters find her, shattering her family's cherished peace. To earn a pardon, she joins a hunting party sent to retrieve a wampus cat's hide for the High King. It's a perilous task, as the cat stalks the domain of the fierce and immortal Jotun. To survive, Kára plunders her father's tomb, tearing Tyrfing, the last arcane weapon, from his undead hands. The rifle can slay any monster, but such strength comes at a terrible price: bloodlust and an unquenchable thirst for power. Immersive, propulsive, and compelling, No Man's Daughter combines Norse paganism with Appalachian folklore in a darkly magical nineteenth-century world, focusing on a woman's fight to return to her family.
