Heir of Monsters

Jack transforms herself into a young man to join the Misfortunates so that she might be able to find her Uncle in the hopes of saving not just her family but the realm itself...

There was once a magical realm the size of Rome, yet it collapsed due to the growing monstrosities that were emerging in the northern wilds. When General Frost suspects that the mage born were the cause of it, he vanishes...and no one ever expects to find him again, for his last known location was in the most dangerous part of the northern wilds.

His niece, of whom he'd been training since the age of eight when she lifted a magical sword that should have been impossible to hold let alone touch, transforms herself from simple farm girl to a cold hearted bastard boy so that he may become a Misfortunate, a Soldier of the Empire. She joins the soldiers in the hopes of finding her beloved Uncle before its too late...not just for her Uncle, but for all of the realm.

In this fantastical Mulan meets The Grim Company mix, Jack finds treachery in every direction, trusts no one, and proves that women can fight, even as the men consider women be damned. With a band of mercenaries, soldiers, liars, thieves, and cowards at her side, Jack strives to prove herself even as the world is determined to destroy her...every step of the way.
