This is an excellent series, though be warned it contains Game of Thrones-level violence. The heroine is Laia of Serra, who I picture as Indian, based on her description. A tale of brutality & suffering but also strength, resilience, faith, forgiveness, & hope.

Beware of harvesting fields on a hot day. Lady Midday, or Poludnitsa, will emerge from whirling dust clouds as an old hag, a lovely woman, or a young girl, carrying a scythe. If you can't answer her riddles, she'll kill you by beheading or heat stroke. #MythologyMonday
