"Fear the forest... It's not foolish." His words rang like bells in the clear air, with every face reacting to their clamor. "But the forest does not hate you, it does not hunt you. It simply does not care about you." The ranger named Cahan led the village of Harn in a rebellion against the powerful, oppressive forces of Rai. A great victory was achieved, but to avoid retribution, he must now lead the people of Harn into the forest. Cahan never wanted this responsibility, but fate and the gods have conspired against him. Without him, the people will be incapable of facing the great monsters and poisonous traps of the forest - not to mention worse things that dwell there. A corruption is developing in the fungi and decay of Wyrdwood, a magic unlike anything Cahan has seen - can he resist its deadly allure while evading his pursuers, all while trying to turn his charges into true people of Wyrdwood?

"An experienced novelist at the top of his game - this is Avatar meets Dune, under the influence of mushrooms" five stars from SFX for Gods of the Wyrdwood. "A sweeping tale of destiny and redemption. Heavy, deliberate, tender, and brutal, this is a big, wonderful book and an absolutely devoted read" Daily Mail for Gods of the Wyrdwood.
