Author Judith Lindbergh “joined” us to chat about AKMARAL, a story of the Sauromatae – nomads descended from the Amazons (as described by Herodotus). Lindbergh discusses the research behind Akmaral herself, the titular character raised to be a warrior – and how she balanced battle and compassion while building her character.
