Nika –
Such a great fantasy novel! Set in pre-historic times, Twelve is a member of the Hunting Lodge, training to be a Hunter. For this she had to forsake her past and even her name. But then a goblin attack strikes the Lodge and one of the Huntlings is kidnapped. Twelve decides to try and rescue her, joined by two other Huntlings and the Guardian, a massive stone dog. On their way they encounter so much peril and get in mortal danger, but the twist at the end was really unexpected! An action packed story, which also deals with issues of frindship, family and loyalty. A perfect read fans of Skandar, Wolf Brother and The Hobbit, most suitable for 11+.
