The fall of Highwatch

the long version

"To come without sacrifice to the heart of the hunter means death...Highwatch has never been taken. The fortress has sat, undisturbed, for over a century, high above Narfell's frozen plains. The line of the High Warden runs unbroken down to his seventeen-year-old granddaughter, Hweilan. Time to grow up, Hweilan Inle Merah. Time to hunt...An enemy's pact with an ancient evil brings down Highwatch in less than a day. Only Hweilan is left. An old friend offers her the chance to avenge her family's death--by joining another ancient spirit, the Master of the Hunt..."--p.[4] of cover.
