One girl and a griffin against an empire: A dying land. The Shima
Imperium verges on collapse. Land and sky have been poisoned by
clockwork industrialization, the Lotus Guild oppresses the populace
and the nation's Shogun is lost to his thirst for power. An
impossible quest. Yukiko and her warrior father are forced to hunt
down a griffin at the Shogun's command. But any fool knows griffins
are extinct - and death will be the price of failure. A hidden
gift. Disaster strikes and Yukiko is stranded in the wilderness
with a fabled griffin, now furious and crippled. Although she hears
his thoughts and saved his life, Yukiko knows he'd rather see her
dead than help her. And discovery of the talent allowing them to
communicate would mean her execution. Yet together, the pair will
form an indomitable bond, and rise to challenge an empire. Set in
steampunk Japan, Jay Kristoff's Stormdancer is full of mythic
creatures, demons and Gods, and a strong female protagonist.
