She's the One Who Doesn't Say Much by S.R. Cronin (The War Stories of the Seven Troublesome Sisters Book 4) | Review, Excerpt, and $25 Giveaway
The War Stories of the Seven Troublesome Sisters consists of seven short companion novels. Each tells the personal story and perspective of one of seven radically different sisters in the 1200s as they prepare for an invasion of their realm. While these historical fantasy/alternate history books can be enjoyed as stand-alone novels, together they tell the full story of how Ilari survived.
Which sister saves the realm? That will depend on whose story you are reading.
How did they save it? Each sister offers unique information on why this didn't go the way anyone planned.
A thoughtful, emotionally grounded historical fantasy that blends Indigenous history, mysticism, and family legacy into a standalone-friendly story that lingers long after the final page.
