On the continent of Greater Vinland, jarls control the civilized lowlands, blood mages practice runic magic at a price, and the steam engine era has just begun. Fugitive mage Kára finds sanctuary on the mountain frontier. Having escaped execution for murdering a jarl’s son, she works in the fur trade to help support the children of a widowed homesteader. Until the jarl’s bounty hunters find her, shattering her once peaceful existence. After killing her attackers, she departs, fearing for her family's safety if she should stay. Kára bitterly believes she will never see her loved ones again—until an acquaintance offers her a deal. Help his team retrieve the hide of the wampus cat for the high king. In return, she will receive a pardon and enough gold to set her family up for life. No one has entered the magic-wielding cat’s range since the Jotun, frost giants, wiped out the human settlements there. Seeking an advantage against them and the competition, Kára plunders her father’s tomb, tearing the last arcane weapon from his undead hands. Yet, with each battle, the cursed rifle sings to her, and she delights more and more in the blood spilled across the snow. Everything she does, right or wrong, is for her family, but her love for them may not save her from repeating her father’s path to ruin. NO MAN'S DAUGHTER is a dark fantasy epic inspired by Norse paganism and Appalachian folklore, and set in an environment inspired by the Canadian Rockies.
