[[caption-width-right:316:The cover of the first book.]]
A trilogy by Catherine M. Wilson that includes The Warrior's Path, A Journey of the Heart, and A Hero's Tale. Beginning with the words "all the women of my family had gone to war", narrator Tamras tells the tale of how she is fostered in the house of a neighboring Lady and comes to understand the path of a warrior. Set during the Bronze Age, it's an adventure story wound up with honor, love, and following one's heart. The author calls it "epic, not fantasy", but it takes many elements of mythology into account.

!! This book provides examples of:
* TheArcher: The weapon of choice for Tamras, who is notably smaller than the other warriors and can't fight with a sword.

* DarkIsNotEvil: People who are dark-haired or skin are revered by people who "hold the old ways" but distrusted by others. There is no personality difference.
* SexSlave: Horrifying, this is how [[spoiler: Sparrow]] is treated from the age of ''eleven''.
* TheHero'sJourney: The overreaching arc of the three books.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Apparently everyone but Tamras knows [[spoiler: that Maara feels this way about her apprentice]].
