Description
A young girl follows her dream to become a great warrior in the historical fantasy journey. Young orphan Alyana leaves her village to become the warrior she feels she truly is. Taking the name of Blackthorn, she meets a hunter called Boar, who takes her into his camp and teaches her the ways of the woods. Alyana constantly struggles between wanting the comforts of family and the solitary life of a warrior and is captured by her tribal enemies, uncovering a plan to destroy her old village. In an act of sacrifice, she saves the village and truly becomes a warrior.
