From the publisher:
Within the brooding expanse of medieval Northern England, lay the estate of Thornwick, once a bastion of noble grandeur. It was here that Adela Thornwick, the youngest daughter of the Thorne lineage, once basked in the opulence and splendour befitting her noble blood. Yet, as fate would cruelly decree, the winds of fortune shifted, casting her into the merciless embrace of the wilds. Spurned by her family, her title stripped and her honor besmirched, Adela was condemned to the wilderness, a shadow of her former self, destined to fade into obscurity. Years passed in the untamed wilderness, where Adela, abandoned and forsaken, was reborn in the crucible of survival. The once-delicate noblewoman transformed into a fearsome warrior queen. Clad in the pelts of beasts and wielding weapons of primal ingenuity, she became one with the wild. One fateful night, as the blood-red moon hung ominously in the sky, a whispered wind carried news of unspeakable horror: the Norman lords, led by the ruthless Baron Guilhem d'Aqura, with his insatiable lust for power, had descended upon Thornwick, leaving a trail of blood and ashes in their wake. Her family, once her tormentors, now lay slaughtered, their cries for mercy lost to the ages. The land of her birthright, marred by Norman brutality, cried out for vengeance. Adela, her soul ablaze with righteous fury, gathered to her side the wild denizens of the forest – savage warriors and fierce beast. Under the cover of night, they emerged from the shadowed depths, a fearsome horde. The clash of steel and the cries of the fallen echoed through the darkened halls of Thornwick, as Adela's vengeance unleashed a tempest of retribution upon the unsuspecting Normans. Thus, the tale of Adela the barbarian queen, who rose from the ashes of betrayal to reclaim her legacy, was etched into the annals of history.
