Tatania
By: M. Robert North
Her heritage, the Ukraine. She rides and fights like a man, she is beautiful, dangerous and sometimes wanton. Tatania is an unforgettable story of love, lust, whirling battles, action, magic, forged by generations of survival in the chaos of the Middle Ages.
Tatania, the daughter of Emil and Jodi. Beautiful, strong, trained for war, Tatania is an exact physical image of Jodi. Her lifestyle when growing to a young woman was also the same, much to the chagrin of her cousin, Yuri, who brought her to the Carpathian Mountains to save her from the Tartars and Vladimir's Cossacks. Appearing to be a wild, lusty teenager, chasing from one village to another, she devotes her life to raising armies to fight Vladimir and the Tartars, and to avenge her mother's death. She rides and fights like a man, she is beautiful, dangerous, and sometimes wanton. The story of Tatania is like her mother's: an unforgettable story of love, swirling battles, lust, magic, and action, forged by generations of survival in the chaos of the Middle Ages. Etienne remains as her guardian. The rest of the amazing, thrilling, battle-filled, sometimes loving, other times brutal story follows. How much is real and how much is fiction? Only the restless winds know.
