The second volume in the Song of the Arkafina series by Suzanne Francis is now available in paperback under our imprint Bladud Books from all good bookstores, both online and offline.
Ketha’s Daughter returns us to the world we were introduced to in Heart of Hythea where we follow the adventures of Katkin’s daughter, Gwenn Faircrow.
Here is the blurb from the back of the book:
Queen Katrione Arkafina ably rules the kingdom of Beaumarais, but she has had less success with her boisterous daughter, Gwenn, born under the sway of a brutal Goddess. Keth Dirane has given Gwenn awesome strength and almost complete invulnerability, but manipulates her cruelly in return. Now, to further her own ends, she convinces Gwenn she must seek revenge for an old betrayal.
On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Gwenn runs away. After she allies herself with some marauding coastal raiders, captained by Gunnar Strong Arm, she has the army she requires. Now, as the dreaded warrior Faircrow, Gwenn will steer the Fynära inexorably towards her former home — the City of Isle St. Valery.
Paperback: 316 pages, ISBN 978-1-84319-809-3.
