Duchess Rampant (Seven Realms of Ar'rothi)

★ Winner of the Lesfic Bard Award for Fantasy Fiction ★

Epic Battles, Sea Faring Ships, and a Daring Rescue. If you're looking for fantasy adventure, this is it!

The most exciting book of the Ar'rothi saga with twists and turns that will keep you reading late into the night. 

The Duchess of Danforth waits on a beach near Port Emnal in front of her three-thousand troops. As the waves lap against the hooves of her battle mare, Lioth, she watches the enemy ships deploying more warriors against her than she'd ever thought possible.

She's known as a great warrior and tactician. This time, however, victory may prove an insurmountable task.

But wrestling victory from defeat is only the beginning. The real attack is one that if successful will defeat her Anacafrian king more surely than an arrow driven through his heart.

You are invited to enter Ar'rothi, a world as vividly realized as Narnia or Middle Earth, a world where animal spirits guide humans towards enlightenment, and in which an orphaned girl and a warrior duchess must join forces against an evil that threatens everything they have learned to love.

From an Amazon Reader:

"Real heroism, passion, and intrigue. The best yet in the series!

I am continually impressed with the Ar'rothi series. From the opening lines of Book 3, I was gripped with the tension of battle and the details of tactics. In fact, I blazed through the opening chapters needing to know what happens next.

More than just battles, this book continues the growth of Kaiti, the Spirit Child, her importance in the world, and her maturing into a fighter who will do anything to protect her friends and those she loves.

There are real dangers here, injuries take real tolls, and death is always at hand. But so is love, redemption, and passion.

In this book, we learn much more about previously side characters and their importance to the continuing saga. And, as all good books in a series, it leaves the reader wanting more, anticipating the next book. Book 4 cannot come too soon."
