"The Shadow of Polaris" is a dark, gritty fantasy that has everything you'd want in an epic adventure. The book starts out with our FMC, Elpis, imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit. You slowly learn about her past, and the painful things that tried to break her.
Once I got into it, I was absolutely absorbed in the story. The twists, the tension between our MCs, the unique magic system, and the most amazing pet companion ever: Arcturus the wolf!!
I enjoyed this fantasy immensely!!
