About this ebook
A new character joins the ranks of pwerful, kick-ass heroines such as those written by Tamora Pierce, Kristin Cashore, Esther Freisner, and Robin McKinley—Malora Ironbound. A great read also for anyone who loves horses and the Greek myths.
Malora knows what she was born to be: a horse wrangler and a hunter, just like her father. But when her people are massacred by batlike monsters called Leatherwings, Malora will need her horse skills just to survive. The last living human, Malora roams the wilderness at the head of a band of magnificent horses, relying only on her own wits, strength, and courage. When she is captured by a group of centaurs and taken to their city, Malora must decide whether the comforts of her new home and family are worth the parts of herself she must sacrifice to keep them.
Kate Klimo has masterfully created a new world, which at first seems to be an ancient one or perhaps another world altogether, but is in fact set on earth sometime far in the future.

This is AMAZINGLY awesome to read! If you like Tamora Pierce books then you will adore this book! A masterpiece of the YA fantasy genre; this book has world building in it so brilliant that you sink into it like a warm bath and never want to leave because you feel so comfortable and at home! I hope very, very much, that this is the beginning of a long series; it certainly deserves to be: Editors, Take note! This book has the strength of the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, with the longevity potential of the Narnia series by CS Lewis, and the fantasy world building level of both worlds created by Tamora Pierce (Tortal/Winding Circle) and a YA version of Game of Thrones by George RR Martin. This is, above all, a REALLY GOOD STORY! Enjoy 😊 ! ! !
