Her Hair Like Flames

After being abandoned in the woods by her stepfather and told never to come back home or he would kill her mother, Sa'ana dreams of revenge. When she takes refuge with The Kotidor, warriors who keep order on the frontier of the Empire, vengeance fuels her training with sword and bow.

However, superiors have other ideas. Sa'ana first becomes a bodyguard to the royal family, a duty that turns out more dangerous than she ever expected. Then she is sent to a remote river valley to hunt for a Bandit Queen, who dares wear the tunic of a defeated Kotidor. As Sa'ana and her companions pursue the brigand, it becomes clear their target will do whatever it takes to stop them. Will Sa'ana and the other Kotidor survive to deliver Justice?

Book Two of The Kotidor Chronicles, Her Hair Like Flames is the story of the girl called "Spitfire" as a novice; her friendship with the other girls in training; and how a child of the city becomes a warrior capable of battling men and beasts.
