I really love the writing style of this author and I will read anything she writes. This was a slow read but very engrossing from start to finish

This is a gender flipped tale of the wild hunt, set against an early British history where the Saxons are still at odds with the Britons. There are rich characters here, and a deft weaving of fantasy and history into a pacy tale that keeps the reader turning pages. I realised after I read this that I also have Sistersong on my to be read pile, a similar type of of novel by the same author; and this has now jumped up the list.

I really enjoy Lucy Holland's writing style. She is now one of my go-to's when it comes to historical fiction with empowering women.

Song of the Huntress by Lucy Holland

Britain, 60 AD. Hoping to save her lover and her land from the Romans, Herla makes a desperate pact with the Otherworld King. She becomes Lord of the Hunt and for centuries she rides, reaping wanderers’ souls. Until the night she meets a woman on a bloody battlefield – a Saxon queen with ice-blue eyes.

Wow lots of characters and names to remember , but really enjoyed the plot and the way the author set out the story for us.
Truly an epic in the making.
