The Vaster Wilds

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

From the bestselling author of Matrix and Fates and Furies

The instant New York Times bestseller

'Exhilarating' - Guardian

'Her writing has a timeless quality' - The Times

'Has a visionary quality' - Observer

A profound and explosive novel about a spirited girl alone in the wilderness, trying to survive.

A servant girl escapes from a settlement. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of God that burns hot within her. What she finds is beyond the limits of her imagination and will bend her belief of everything that her own civilization has taught her.

The Vaster Wilds is a work of raw and prophetic power that tells the story of America in miniature, through one girl at a hinge point in history, to ask howβ€”and ifβ€”we can adapt quickly enough to save ourselves.
