Sheepfarmer's Daughter

Lucia Correa

A re-read. This is the first book of a trilogy. An epic story of Paksenarrion (Paks), who runs away from her family to escape an arranged marriage to a pig farmer. She joins mercenary army and becomes a hero many times over.

I have the same problem I had the first time reading it - Her mercenary company travels throughout the book and for the life of me I could never picture in my head where they were. I dug out my old paperback that includes a map - (later I found it online) but it doesn't have enough detail. At least mark her home town.

Good book though. Eventually I'll read the second book, if I remember correctly was my favorite.

Pak senses her special destiny, disobeys her father's plans for her marriage, and sets off for the army, where her heroic restoration of a lost ruler to his throne will make her a legend
