Raven's Stand. Darklands: The Raven's Calling, #5

An Iron Age Fantasy with heart. What is your concern is there's a dark path calling you. It's one you'll resist, in fact, you must resist. You cannot let it claim you. Friesch is an Eastern Liuhtjan traveling west because. she doesn't know. All she knows is something is calling her, so she travels west. Evarnius is a hunter and an axe warrior traveling west with her because she saved his life, and maybe likes her, a little. They find their way to Greantalia, to the little settlement where Ambial and her man have started building their home with their baby, Raithe, among Iskvald's bandits.
They're there when the decision is made for an army to be sent to Grimulsvoton to confront the Eastern Council about the massacres that occurred the previous summer. It's a foolish decision, one with has no hope of succeeding. It's a decision that must be made. It's a plan that must succeed. It's a dark path that Friesch must walk with them if any are going to survive. _____So you know, there's some swearing, some violence and some reference to sex.
It's not "Game of Thrones" level, but it's there. It's not graphic and it has to do with the story. Slavery is also a thing in this world.
