Description
A mind-bending and immersive dark fantasy novel, Blacktail is the long-awaited second novel from Scott Hawkins, the critically acclaimed author of The Library at Mount Char.
Who does your dog pray to?
Blacktail, a half-breed wolf, knows only the language of the hunt. When men kill his mate and unborn pups, he answers with a slaughter so absolute it draws the gaze of an ancient and terrible feline witch. She sets him on a path south - to wake the sleeping Forest God and end the plague of humankind.
As Blacktail journeys farther from his wild home and deeper into the world of man, he encounters strangers - animal, mortal, and otherworldly - who want to help him rid the world of humans. From the blood-slicked wilderness to a burning confrontation with Archangels, this is a feral odyssey of vengeance - brutal, heartbreaking and unlike anything else in fiction.
The Forest God sleeps. But what will be the price of waking him?
