Once Ivariel thought elephants were fairy tales to amuse
children. But her ice-encased childhood in Dasnaria’s
imperial seraglio was lacking in freedom and justice.. With
a new name and an assumed identity as a warrior priestess of
Danu, the woman once called Princess Jenna is now a fraud
and a fugitive. But as she learns the ways of the beasts and
hones new uses for her dancer’s strength, she moves one day
further from the memory of her brutal husband. Safe in hot,
healing Nyambura, Ivariel holds a good man at arm’s length
and trains for the day she’ll be hunted again.
She knows it’s coming. She’s not truly safe, not when her
mind clouds with killing rage at unpredictable moments. Not
when patient Ochieng’s dreams of a family frighten her to
her bones. But it still comes as a shock to Ivariel when
long-peaceful Nyambura comes under attack. Until her new
people look to their warrior priestess and her elephants to
lead them . . .
