The Crane Maiden

By M H Woodscourt

War has reached her doorstep.

She will answer with a sword.

When her little sister dies during an enemy raid, Jenai prays to Holy Afallon seeking protection for her village. What she doesn't expect is to hear a Voice telling her that she must personally lead the armies of Fraelin against the growing threat.

Joined by a gentle unicorn and a few brave allies, Jenai sets out to liberate Fraelin-even at the risk of her own freedom.

However, the road to war isn't straightforward. Jenai must first gain the trust of the Crane Prince by convincing him she's not a fraud. Will the Church of Afallon accept her calling or will they condemn her as a heretic?

Set centuries before the Wintervale duology and inspired by the heroic life of Joan of Arc, this high fantasy reimagining portrays the faith, courage, and fortitude of a young woman destined for greatness.
