Half the World

Thorn Bathu dreams of becoming a warrior, but fate seems set against her. Branded a murderer for a training accident, she faces a life of shame. Yet Brand, an awkward outsider, sees Thorn’s potential and helps her seize a second chance. Together, they embark on a perilous journey across half the world, seeking allies for their beleaguered kingdom. As war looms and treachery lurks at every turn, Thorn and Brand must confront their own demons and forge an unbreakable bond to survive the trials ahead.

Sometimes a girl needs to be reminded of what she's fighting for.
