“As her father’s chosen heir, eighteen-year-old Rasmira has trained her whole life to become a warrior and lead her village. But when her coming-of-age trial is sabotaged and she fails the test, her father banishes her to the monster-filled wilderness with an impossible quest: To win back her honor, she must kill the oppressive god who claims tribute from the villages each year or die trying.”

This is a stand alone YA historical fantasy novel that I really enjoyed. I loved the world, the characters, and the setting. The story is fairly simple but it’s a good classic quest against evil. I love questing stories with adventure in them.

Rasmira is betrayed by a friend during her coming of age trial and banished from her village as a result. The village gives her an impossible quest, if she can complete it she can return. Things out in the Wilds aren’t as Rasmira is led to believe and her impossible quest may not be impossible as she thought.

This was a straightforward fantasy story. I enjoyed the characters, they were very well done. I also enjoyed the quest that Rasmira had to complete; it had a very classic good vs evil feel to it. All in all everything in this book was very well done and balanced and I really enjoyed it.

Overall this was a fun read and I really loved it! Lots of action, great characters, fun plot, and great world-building. I would recommend to those who enjoy fantasy adventure or fantasy with quests.
