The Shards-- An Iron and Wood Story

A thousand years before Iron and Wood...

The vampires failed to conquer them, but the Sixteen Peoples of the Shards have paid the price for their victory. Shipwrecks litter the ocean floor, and the echoes of the bloody battles still linger across the frozen islands. But as they struggle to put their lives back together, the Peoples' hard-earned peace is proving fragile.

A simple trip for supplies turns deadly as a clan of Amazons find a camp destroyed, their sisters slaughtered, and themselves ambushed by a fellow tribe they once trusted. Mel, a young warrior, never expected that a trinket stolen from a corpse could be more dangerous than any weapon. As she begins to unravel the secrets of the last war for the Shards, Mel discovers a long-simmering plot for revenge against the Amazons, and a traitor lying in wait for a chance to destroy everything they fought for.
