This is a newly released young adult fantasy novel about Amazonian women warriors (rock on!) who breed and live with horses in a sprit of sisterhood. The tale concerns Rain, an Amazon princess, who has ominous dreams of a black horse. Rain, who is the product of her mother's rape by fifty men, is ignored by her mother the Queen. Rain struggles with preparing for her upcoming rule, her mother's coldness, disagreements with her culture, and forbidden love. She also finds a sister, Io, in the daughter of her mother's female lover. Both Io and her mother were slaves in a patriarchal culture and each have a snake tattoo for each man that has raped them. Io's mother has over 200 snake tattoos. This book addresses goddess spirituality, sexuality, feminism, sexual violence, pacifism, and individuality. It is an exciting and quick read and a Girl-Power infused story.
