Summary
Finally, Ellie opens her eyes and lifts her head from her father’s fur, steely-eyed. His face is scarred, a new one carved across the side of his head, and where his left leg would be past knee, there’s a vacancy, a week old now but still fresh.
But even still he aims his concern at her.
She faces Tommy, stern.
“I’ll do it.”
--
After being barred from fighting in a war between her clan and the neighboring clan, one that puts Joel out of commission, Ellie pursues an honor she thinks she's lost by agreeing to an seemingly prophesized arranged marriage to end the war. Fully expecting the warrior they promise to her to be a man she could never love, she braces herself for a life of dissatisfaction.
However, the person who shows up at the altar isn't who anyone expects.
(or, Ellie and Dina in an medieval-esque, but not really, arranged marriage, and Ellie making a mess of things.)
