When a king begs a dread boon, dare she refuse him? Remeya--fosterling and maid-in-waiting to the king's sister--worships the old and forbidden horned god alongside the princess. Despite the centuries-old taboo, a few believers still perform the rites in secret. And the king quietly tolerates their heresy until Remeya retrieves a cursed sword from its watery grave and bestows it upon him. As the king's mind unravels into violence, no one near him remains safe, not even his best beloved. Especially not his best beloved. Fearing for all their lives, Remeya frantically seeks a means of curbing the king's wrath. Appeals to religious authority and personal displays of public piety prove fruitless, while leaving salvation to her god delivers no sign that he will act. Unless Remeya learns to engage more deeply with her beliefs--beyond obedience, beyond devotion, and into surrender--the princess will lose her head and Remeya her soul. Hunting Wild is the evocative second tale in the Blood Blade fantasy series. If you enjoy vivid characters, exotic worlds, and intensifying suspense, you'll love this engrossing coming-of-age story by J.M. Ney-Grimm in which a teen girl grapples with how to connect with her god. Buy Hunting Wild now to forge faith from desperation in the eleventh hour! EXCERPT FROM HUNTING WILD The pebbles of the underground stream bed dug into the soles of her feet, and the chill of the shallow water numbed her toes. The rough surface of the ceiling sloped down, scraping her back, forcing her to bend, to crouch, to curl enough that she caught her balance with her hands in the wet. The light faded swiftly. Had she gone far enough? She paused, eyes adjusting. The glimmering ripples of the spring's source cast dim flickers against the rocks pressing her down. ABOUT THE AUTHOR J.M. Ney-Grimm lives with her husband and children in Virginia, just east of the Blue Ridge Mountains.She's learning about permaculture gardening and debunking popular myths about food. The rest of the time she reads Robin McKinley, Diana Wynne Jones, and Lois McMaster Bujold, plays boardgames like Settlers of Catan, rears her twins, and writes stories set in her troll-infested North-lands.
