When Sarvet's world hems her in, she pushes back. Her daughter, Livli, does likewise. The Kaunis Clan Omnibus, Sarvet & Livli, presents both their transcendent stories.
SARVET'S WANDERYAR
Running away leads right back home-or does it?
Sarvet walks with a grinding limp, and her mountain hamlet keeps girls close to home. Even worse, her mother emphasizes all the things Sarvet can't do. When Sarvet's good friend Nial returns from his wanderyar-a year of traveling the lowlands and turning strangers into friends-she decides that she too will take a wanderyar, even though girls can't and don't.
But as Sarvet works on Nial to help get her away, everything goes wrong, not least of which is that her mother was right about one thing: Sarvet's limp makes steep, rock-strewn trails hard and dangerous.
When catastrophe overtakes her, Sarvet must learn that neither running away nor waiting on others will deliver the free and vibrant life she longs for. Only by finding and embracing her inner strength can she create happiness-and survive winter's deadly night on the high tundra.
Sarvet's Wanderyar recounts the riveting inward journey that accompanies outbound adventure. If you love compelling characters, revelations of deep truth, and spellbindingly unique fantasy worlds, then you'll enjoy J.M. Ney-Grimm's gripping and insightful tale.

LIVLI'S GIFT
With centuries-old tradition and an impassioned traditionalist against her, can a champion of family ties save her menfolk from exile?
Livli dreads losing her father, brothers-and her unborn son. The men and women of her people dwell apart, gathering together only on rare fête-days, but the young healer longs to see her kin more often. When the arrival of a grievously injured outlander galvanizes a traditional lodge-sister to urge returning to the old ways of greater isolation, Livli fears forfeiting even these treasured visits.
Vowing to see her father and brothers whenever she wishes and to keep her baby, whether girl or boy, Livli asks her friends to speak out. But while they persuade as many as will listen, and she tackles the lodge-mother, her foe doubles down, demanding that men be banned entirely from the lodge. And Livli is stunned to learn that a surprising number desire this strong measure.
Unless Livli convinces her lodge-sisters that generous interludes with fathers, brothers, and sons offer essential wellbeing for all, their menfolk risk banishment forever.
Livli's Gift is the engrossing second book in the relationship-focused Kaunis Clan Saga, a fantasy trilogy. If you enjoy insightful tales told with engaging intimacy, you'll love J.M. Ney-Grimm's absorbing novel.
