PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
How do you kill a god?
As her father's chosen heir, eighteen-year-old Rasmira has trained her whole life to become a warrior and lead her village. But when her coming-of-age trial is sabotaged and she fails the test, her father banishes her to the monster-filled wilderness.
To win her way back into her community, she is forced to embark on an impossible quest: she must kill the oppressive god who claims violent tribute from the villages each year - or die trying.

'One of my favourite YA books ever. The action! The world-building! The voice! This book kicks so much ass' - Cale Dietrich, author of 'The Love Interest' 'Levenseller presents a fully rounded portrait of a girl whose strength in battle is tempered by her very human anxieties. Rasmira's quest is thrilling, her emotional journey compelling; this adventure sings' - Booklist 'This high-octane novel is filled with mythical creatures and showcases a heroine who wants to be a warrior, a woman, and a leader' - School Library Journal
