Yimi’s Saga by Evan Oliver

Continuing the Legends of Karik series in epic style, Evan Oliver has crafted a masterful tale with Ylmi’s Saga, a femme-driven YA adventure with an unforgettable new hero at the helm. Cast out into the unforgiving wild by a dragon’s petty wrath, Ylmi’s childhood is one of hardship, resilience, and dreams of revenge. When Karik, the hardened hero from Book 1 of this series, arrives as an unlikely ally, Ymli has the chance to begin forging her own story as a legendary warrior and defender of her people. Penned with a clear love of the natural world, a reverence for Norse and Scandinavian lore, and surprising emotional depth, this second installment is an action-packed knockout.
