Eelyn is strong, feisty, and determined heroine, making her character easy to empathize with – I doubt there will be a reader who doesn’t root for Eelyn at some point when reading Sky in the Deep. “Brutal and beautiful, with breakneck pacing and starring a heroine that will make you want to run into battle with her, Sky in the Deep is a stunning debut that will leave readers enchanted and breathless all at once.” – Roshani Chokshi, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Star-Touched Queen In Sky in the Deep, Young has brought to life a fascinating world filled with fierce battles, shocking betrayals, powerful characters and a slow-burning romance that will keep this book in readers’ hands until the very last page – at least, that’s what happened when I read Sky in the Deep!

Faced with her brother’s betrayal, she must survive the winter in the mountains with the Riki, in a village where every neighbor is an enemy, every battle scar possibly one she delivered.
