The Tiger’s Daughter by K. Arsenault Rivera

Arsenault really feeds information to the readers in increments, slowly building up to the climax. But once 20% or so in, I was ready to keep reading until the end. It took me a bit as a reader to really get into the story. The Tiger’s Daughter starts out slow – almost exceptionally slow. The Tiger’s Daughter is a beautiful tale that will burrow its way into your heart, as you traverse through the land with Shizuka, Shefali, and their grand love story. I would soon find out that not only does this book feature those things, but also an expansive Mongolian-inspired world (as well as an issue that I discuss below), and a slowly burgeoning romance that would make my heart burst with both love and satisfaction. I requested it solely because of the lesbian romance and the aspect of fighting demons. I admit, this book was not on my radar at first. Note: This book contains mature content (sexy times) and graphic violence. This is the story of an infamous Qorin warrior, Barsalayaa Shefali, a spoiled divine warrior empress, O Shizuka, and a power that can reach through time and space to save a land from a truly insidious evil.Ī crack in the wall heralds the end…two goddesses arm themselves…K Arsenault Rivera’s The Tiger’s Daughter is an adventure for the ages.

It is up to two young warriors, raised together across borders since their prophesied birth, to save the world from the encroaching demons. Now, their border walls begin to crumble, and villages fall to demons swarming out of the forests.Īway on the silver steppes, the remaining tribes of nomadic Qorin retreat and protect their own, having bartered a treaty with the empire, exchanging inheritance through the dynasties.

The Hokkaran empire has conquered every land within their bold reach-but failed to notice a lurking darkness festering within the people.
