They burned her tribe. Enslaved her. Made one fatal mistake. They let her live.
In the savage Ice Age, eight-year-old Nin watches her world burn. Her people—slaughtered. Her freedom—stolen. But they never saw the cub she saved from the ice.
Shadow grows into 800 pounds of rippling muscle and dagger fangs, bound to Nin by something deeper than loyalty. When the dire wolf pack answers her call and they run together beneath the northern lights, she becomes something her captors never imagined: not a slave, not a weapon, but a warlord.
Over fifteen brutal years, she transforms from captive to conqueror. From the ashes of her tribe, she carves a dominion from the ice. Every enemy who falls feeds her legend.
Raw. Brutal. Unforgettable. The Borealis Queen tells a story of survival in humanity's darkest age—where the only magic is the will to endure.
Perfect for fans of Clan of the Cave Bear and Apocalypto.
