Eartha, is a courageous young woman of humble origins. She is also loyal to both her loved ones and to mother earth.  When The high king falls in battle, his daughter Galiene must choose a husband and the successor. Eartha knows that her brother Balen will enter the dangerous ritual of the stag hunt. Not to win the crown but the hand of his childhood love Gailene. Knowing fate will have it's way she is determined that Balen will win. Even if she must enter in his place.Set in ancient Britannia during the Anglo-Saxon invasion, you are immediately transported and caught up in a tribal war.  Eartha is a brave character who is the focus of the story and won my admiration instantly. You are taken back to her early childhood and see that her character is strong and loyal right from the beginning.  A lot of action and historical rituals keep the pace interesting and exciting. A short story that I would love to see develop into a full novel.I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
