"According to legend, when the world was young, two gods of war — one male, one female — were destined for each other. Yet Ullr, forever unfaithful, lost the love of Issaura, his true match, and was forsworn. His violent anger and bitter rage grew and intensified, poisoning all creation and humanity.
Now that the Raiders’ long ships have faded from sight, the kingdom of Elysia is beginning to recover from the summer’s war with the brutal invaders from across the sea. Yet darker forces have taken root, forces that can alter the future of the land and its people in unthinkable ways. Seventeen-year-old Lluava must discover the means to prevent her world from collapsing. But in doing so, will she succumb to that darkness?"
Book Two of The Incarn Saga, Ullr's Fangs follows where Issaura's Claws left off:
Although thankful for survival, the Kingdom of Elysia is still reeling from the summer’s war that devastated many coastal cities and towns. If the dominant race of humans and the native race of Theriomorphs with their unique ability to shift into animal form had not finally united, the country would have come to ruin. However, tension and distrust remain.
Seventeen-year-old Lluava feels the pressures that stem from racial differentiation more than most. In animal form, the white tigress is both unusual and unsettling. Moreover, as the only female trained in the arts of war, she has drawn the attention of the entire kingdom and its patriarchal society. Many eyes are focused on her and her future—one that is intricately bound with that of the heir to the throne.
Taking up residence in the capital, Lluava soon learns not all enemies arise from across the ocean. Adversaries and foes have long ago infused themselves in public places of power. Elysia is far from safe. This time, evil will not be so easy to slay.
The echoes of the Raider’s last threat remains: “The war isn’t over. It hasn’t even begun.”
