An EPIC FANTASY ADVENTURE For ALL AGES! It's been 10 years since the men of the village left to fight in The Great War. Ten years since they left the women, children, and the older generation for a conflict far away from home and that they knew almost nothing about, except that it was about the security of their nation, their valley, and their families. Ten years have passed since anyone has had any news of the war... But the women quickly took charge of village matters. This is how the Order of Shepherdess Warriors was formed, a group of female fighters chosen among the most courageous and acrimonious, to protect not only their flocks, but also the village! Molly is proud to count herself among the Order, but she cannot overcome the dark dangers facing her and her friends by enthusiasm alone. The strange beast and the witch who controlled it have been subdued, but it is a bitter victory... Molly has been seriously injured. Although she's regained consciousness, a strange evil still gnaws at her. The Shepherdess Warriors make an important decision: they will go to the Deadlands and to learn the origins of the evil that resides there. This may also be their last chance to discover what happened to the men of their village, who left for the front more than ten years ago. A long journey awaits them into the hostile lands of the North...
