Not our Scatty. You'd think someone who has been around for a couple millennia might be looking a little rough. With names like that, she's bound to be awesome. ![]() Her full name is Scathach, also known as The Warrior Maid, The Shadow, The Daemon Slayer, and The King Maker. She's got awesome martial arts moves, her very own dojo, and-oh yeah-she's a vampire, too. Seriously, we wish we had her on Shmoop's team. ![]()

The novel may focus on Gregor’s interior life, but one would be remiss not to consider the shocking opening lines of the novel that reveal the transformation to the reader. Despite his creature-like appearance, this is a very human story of a man faced with the greatest of disruptions to his life. His strife, horror, loss, and death are much more the focus than is the fact that he was transformed into a giant bug. Gregor’s emotional and mental development, as well as his changing perspective on his situation, are the main focus of the short novel. ![]() ![]() At a remote homestead, a hardened warrior leaves his family to follow a raven's summons.Īnd in a deadly wilderness where nature and the gods have no mercy, two young fugitives will confront the unfolding of an apocalyptic prophecy.
