'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
Évike 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 Évike 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 Gáspár Bárány 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 Évike discovers her own hidden magic she and Gaspar must
decide where their loyalties really lie . . . ______________________________________
