THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A dark, evocative and unforgettable
fantasy debut steeped in Hungarian history and Jewish mythology,
perfect for fans of Naomi Novik and Katherine Arden. 'Rooted in
history and myth, The Wolf and the Woodsman is a stunning debut . .
. It will twine like a dark forest around your heart.' Samantha
Shannon, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Priory of the
Orange Tree ______________________________________ A spirited
outcast. A disgraced prince. A world where monsters roam free. In
her forest-veiled pagan village, Evike is the only woman without
power. So when soldiers from the Holy Order of Woodsmen arrive to
claim a girl for their king's blood sacrifice, the villagers only
have one person to offer up. But when they are attacked en-route to
the capital, and everyone but Evike and a lone Woodsman are
slaughtered, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except
he's no ordinary Woodsman - he's the disgraced prince, Gaspar
Barany, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power. As
they travel from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked
capital, they form a tenuous pact that slowly turns their loathing
turns to affection. But trust is easily betrayed, and as Evike
discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gaspar must decide where
their loyalties really lie . . .

Harrow 'A grown-up, complicated, angsty, sexy, dark book' Cultured
Vulture 'Richly imagined, densely textured, and endlessly
delightful' Katherine Addison 'A powerful feminist story about
acceptance, The Wolf and the Woodsman is perfect for fans of The
