Peaceweaver

In this stand-alone companion book to The Coming of the Dragon, 16-year-old Hild has to decide what’s most important to her, honor or happiness. Those who have read Dragon will meet new characters and see some familiar faces from a new perspective. Readers new to Hild’s world will meet a girl who knows how to wield a sword, but whose job is to weave peace between two warring kingdoms.

“Entrancing! Barnhouse weaves a web of magic and treachery that will ensnare you.”
--Cinda Williams Chima, bestselling author of the Heir Chronicles and the Seven Realms series

“Peaceweaver is splendid historical fantasy. Barnhouse’s sure-footed prose and intricate world building deftly evoke a time of ancient magics, perilous journeys, and thrilling tales spun by firelight. Highly recommended.”
--Elizabeth C. Bunce, winner of the Morris Award; author of A Curse Dark as Gold and StarCrossed
