The Dakari, a shadowy group of thieves and kills, have terrorized the three warring tribes for centuries. However, all of this changes when the three tribes finally unify, becoming the Silva Nation. Faced with the threat of the now-unified tribes, the Dakari swear peace and the raids stop. With her hatred of the Dakari cemented, thirteen-year-old Artemis of the Running Wolf Tribe renounces both her people and the fledgling nation, striking out on her own to finish the Dakari, who robbed her of her parents only a few years prior. A resourceful fighter and legendary huntress, Artemis lives alone in the woods for the next seven years, ambushing groups of Dakari and, in the eyes of the people of the Silva Nation, endangering the delicate peace. Will her own people turn on her before she can uncover the truth behind the vicious group? Or will Artemis end up starting a war far bigger than she anticipated?
