Natir Whitebridge
Natir Whitebridge is a series of fantasy novels written by American author James Starvoice. It tells the story of Natir, a Cech slave living in Bohemia in the 4th Century BC, who triumphs over many bloodcurdling trials in her struggle to protect her daughter and earn her place as “equal” to her male counterparts, in a ruthless and male-dominated world.

The series is described as hard to read by female-readers due to its graphic nature and realistic depiction of beating of women, humiliation, sexual abuse, and gruesome fighting.

Plot

The main story arc contains snippets of supernatural influence. It concerns a prophecy about a great enmity and fatal struggle-to-come between the two main characters Natir ([1] Gallic: Na-Ti-r’-Sh, Natip, Natter [Serpent]/,[2] Proto-Celtic: Na-Tee-Sh, Natir [Snake, Needle]) and Vael (Vay-ell/,[1] Gallic: fáel, fäl, fæl [Wolf]/,[2] Proto-Celtic: waylos [Wolf]).

As of book 3 in the series, Natir and Vael are yet to meet and there are no clues that they are aware of the other’s existence, but they do appear to be on a path to collide as each character is (book 3) positioned in an opposing army heading out to war. Although the names of Natir and Vael means Serpent and Wolf, respectively. In the story it is Nair who is repeatedly referred to as the “wolf” and Vael as the “Serpent”, by the Seer who foretold their prophecy, and other characters with supernatural traits.
