With no choice, she joins with Fiske, her brother's friend, and together they must unite the Aska and Riki to fight together or risk the clans being destroyed.

But when a clan thought to be but a legend attacks the Riki village, Eelyn becomes desperate to return home to her loved ones. Faced with the betrayal of her brother, Eelyn now must survive with the Riki clan for the winter the mountain village filled with enemy neighbors and battle scars that she possibly delivered herself. But one day, on the field of battle, Eelyn sees the impossible: her brother is fighting alongside the enemy- the same brother that she watched die five years ago. While sometimes brutal, her life follows two simple rules: fights and survive. I've been having a difficult relationship with reading lately (for personal reasons) but Sky in the Deep seems to have gotten me out of my reading slump! This book was the perfect dose of historical fiction I didn't know I needed and I'm definitely looking forward to Adrienne Young's future releases!Įelyn was raised to be a warrior and fights with her Aska clansmen in the ancient war against the Riki clan. Thank you to Wednesday Books for providing me with a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for review! All opinions are my own. Driven by a love for her clan and her growing love for Fiske, Eelyn must confront her own definition of loyalty and family while daring to put her faith in the people she’s spent her life hating.' They must do the impossible: unite the clans to fight together, or risk being slaughtered one by one. She is given no choice but to trust Fiske, her brother’s friend, who sees her as a threat. But when the Riki village is raided by a ruthless clan thought to be a legend, Eelyn is even more desperate to get back to her beloved family. 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. Until the day she sees the impossible on the battlefield - her brother, fighting with the enemy - the brother she watched die five years ago.

Her life is brutal but simple: fight and survive.
