SONG OF THE HUNTRESS

What's better than an action-packed, gender-bent account of a wild huntress fighting underworld creatures? This one is grounded by Kristin Atherton's energetic and deeply emotional performance. While Queen thelburg commands the Wessex army, her husband, Ine, struggles to play the political game. Meanwhile, Herla and her sisters, cursed by the thrill of the wild hunt, fight an otherworldly battle. As Ine grapples with an inherited supernatural power and a traitorous brother, Herla and thel fall slowly in love. To protect humanity from the growing underworld threat, the three must learn to work together and embrace their powers. Atherton fully manifests 60 CE Britain through her powerful narration, and author Lucy Holland offers historical depth in her preface. This feminist historical fiction is a triumph.
