Hag of the Hills by Jtt Ryder

Nothing is unconquerable; even our gods can die.

All his life, Brennus has been destined for warriorhood. However, a farmer's life doesn't provide many opportunities for swordplay and glory, despite the Goddess of Winter's gift of the Sight-the ability to see the sidhe of the Otherworld. But when the Hillmen kill his family and annihilate his clan, he knows the truth-no one can avenge his homeland but himself.

As he prepares to set out against the Hillmen and their Queen, the clan's chief druid entrusts his daughter, Myrnna, to his protection, to which Brennus swears a solemn oath. As they fight toward the sanctuary of Dun Torrin, he must survive the endless hordes of Hillman and the monstrous sidhe while shielding Myrnna from harm, aided only by the Sight, a band of shifty mercenaries, and an ancient bronze sword.

As Brennus struggles through this new world of blood and magic, the tension between protecting Myrnna and avenging his homeland threatens to tear him apart. Failure means the curse of dishonour. Victory would bring glory to himself and his ancestors. But what if keeping both of his promises proves impossible?

In the words of his father...

Nothing is unconquerable; even our gods can die.
