I’m excited to announce the cover for NO MAN’S DAUGHTER by Ninja Jo Art! The story follows a fugitive mage who hopes to earn her freedom and protect her family by claiming her ancestors’ magical weapon. Carrying the rifle, however, comes at a price: bloodlust and an unquenchable thirst for power. Preorders are available. Visit my publisher, Dark Matter INK’s site, to learn more.
Fugitive Kára, the bastard daughter of a legendary hero, builds a new life on the mountain frontier, until bounty hunters find her, shattering her family’s cherished peace. To earn a pardon, she joins a hunting party sent to retrieve
a wampus cat’s hide for the High King. It’s a perilous task, as the cat stalks
the domain of the fierce and immortal Jotun. To survive, Kára plunders her
father’s tomb, tearing Tyrfing, the last arcane weapon, from his undead hands.
The rifle can slay any monster, but such strength comes at a terrible price: bloodlust and an unquenchable thirst for power. Immersive, propulsive, and compelling, No Man’s Daughter combines Norse paganism with Appalachian folklore in a darkly magical nineteenth-century world, focusing on a woman’s fight to return to her family.
“A deftly woven tale of love, grief, and righteous revenge, No Man’s
Daughter by Justine Lombardi is a welcome addition to modern fantasy.
Kára is complex, carrying the weight of the sins of her father while also
forging a path for herself in a world steeped in Appalachian folklore
and Norse mythology. For those in search of the wild beauty of Tamriel
in Skyrim or the haunting rugged adventure and grit of The Witcher 3,
look no further. Lombardi delivers unto her readers the adventure of a
lifetime.”
