Warrior's Daughter

By Lily Ann Fenwyn

What if the stories you've been told about yourself were never true?

Fourteen-year-old Ari Rowan knows the rules. Keep your head down. Stay quiet. Don't make trouble.

At school, she's invisible when she's lucky and a target when she's not. At home, she navigates a mother who drinks too much, an older brother struggling with burdens of his own, a younger brother who needs protecting, and a world that keeps telling her who she's supposed to be. Only her best friend, Imani, seems willing to question the stories everyone else accepts.

Then her grandmother gives her an old pendant. The symbol carved into its surface shouldn't mean anything. But strange things begin to happen. Ancient symbols appear where none existed before. Dreams blur into memory. A mysterious female warrior watches from the edges of her world. And every answer leads to a question no one wants her to ask: What if the stories she's been told about herself were never true?

The deeper Ari digs, the more she realizes the greatest threat isn't magic. It's a system of stories designed to keep people from remembering who they are. As forces both ancient and modern close in around her, Ari must decide whether to remain the person the world expects-or become the person she was always meant to be.

Warrior's Daughter is the first book in an illustrated fantasy series about courage, identity, inheritance, and remembering the strength that was never truly lost.

Perfect for readers who love strong female protagonists, coming-of-age fantasy, mythology, and stories of awakening and self-discovery.
