Daughter of earth and tree

the long version

The past has come looking for warrior-trained giantess Brauna Brandon. Guardsmen have invaded her small villlage and kidnapped her daughter. A demon bear stalks her and her family. Her husband is missing and likely dead. And trees seem to be communicating with her. With the help of Theya, a woman with a fractured soul, Brauna trails the Guardsmen who kidnapped her daughter while also hunting the bear. Along the way, she discovers the peculiar skills of the dark-moon heritage, that the bear is more than he seems, that enemies sometimes wear the guise of allies, and the dead don't always move on.
