Description
Despairing of the hardship and toils of life along the northern tundra three clans of northerners set off for parts unknown to establish a new life. In the northern highlands set apart from the rest of Kroth they found the paradise they seek. Protected by mountains and a little known pass, they flourished and began to forget their ways.Generations later their history told only in hushed stories around the hearth meant to scare children. They have new traditions now. New rituals, the most garish of which is sacrificing their daughters to the saints to keep their lands blessed and fruitful.Into this dystopian paradise is born a farmer's daughter, Tarja. She alone questions the rituals her people endure. She seeks answers to questions that no one dares to ask. She wants a different life for herself. The more she wants, the more she learns how steep the price behind it is. It is a cost she alone cannot bear.Sacrifice is not officially a part of the Serpent's War series. It is a standalone book in the world of Kroth that takes place in the timeline after The Goblin Queen.Keep an eye out for these other World of Kroth books:Blades of Leander (Child of Fate, Victim of Fate, Silver Dragon)Order of the Dragon (Isle of the Ape, Chasing the Dragon, Sands of Betrayal, Dragonlady)The Serpent's War (Servant of the Serpent, Rise of the Serpent, The Goblin Queen)
