Running away leads right back home-or does it?
Sarvet walks with a grinding limp, and her mountain hamlet keeps girls close to home. Even worse, her mother emphasizes all the things Sarvet can't do. When Sarvet's good friend Nial returns from his wanderyar-a year of traveling the lowlands and turning strangers into friends-she decides that she too will take a wanderyar, even though girls can't and don't.
But as Sarvet works on Nial to help get her away, everything goes wrong, not least of which is that her mother was right about one thing: Sarvet's limp makes steep, rock-strewn trails hard and dangerous.
When catastrophe overtakes her, Sarvet must learn that neither running away nor waiting on others will deliver the free and vibrant life she longs for. Only by finding and embracing her inner strength can she create happiness-and survive winter's deadly night on the high tundra.
Sarvet's Wanderyar is the compelling first book in the relationship-focused Kaunis Clan Saga, a fantasy trilogy. If you enjoy the riveting inward journey that accompanies outbound adventure, engaging characters, and revelations of deep truth, you'll love J.M. Ney-Grimm's gripping tale.

PRAISE FOR SARVET'S WANDERYAR
...great introduction to the Hammarleeding's society that left me craving more. Sarvet is a wonderfully strong female character who you also meet again in Livli's Gift. -PCS
...it's an entrancing story with a character you care about, and desperately want to succeed... At first I saw Paiam as the clear antagonist, but I came to sympathize with her. This makes for a complex interaction between the two characters that rages almost completely in the subtext-very clever on Ney-Grimm's part, and very effective... On a side note, one of my favourite things about Ney-Grimm's work is her treatment of fantastical creatures...the pegasi seem ethereal...creatures of light and gauze that are somehow the most real things in the world. -James J. Parsons, Speaking to the Eyes
J.M. Ney-Grimm has woven a beautiful, multi-layered tapestry... All the characters, human and otherwise, in her world are well-rounded and believable. -Barbara Karp, Readers' Favorite
EXCERPT FROM SARVET'S WANDERYAR
Tense and furious, Sarvet shook her mother's angry grip from her forearm. I'll petition the lodge-meet for filial severance, she snapped, and then wished she'd swallowed the words, so hateful, too hateful to speak. And yet she'd spoken them.
The breeze swirling on the mountain slope picked up, nudging the springy branches of the three great pines at Sarvet's back and purring among their needles. Their scent infused the moving air.
Paiam's narrowed eyes widened an instant-in hurt?-flicked up to encompass the swaying tree tops behind her daughter, then went flat.
You dare! she breathed.
