The wolf and the woodsman : a novel
(Book)

"Follows a young pagan woman with hidden powers and a one-eyed captain of the Woodsmen as they form an unlikely alliance to thwart a tyrant"--,Provided by publisher.

In her forest-veiled pagan village, ©œvike is the only woman without power. The villagers blame her corrupted bloodline-- her father was a Yehuli man, one of the much-loathed servants of the fanatical king. When soldiers arrive from the Holy Order of Woodsmen to claim a pagan girl for the king's blood sacrifice, ©œvike is betrayed by her fellow villagers and surrendered. Monsters attack en route, slaughtering everyone except ©œvike and the cold, one-eyed captain. But he's no ordinary Woodsman: he's the disgraced prince, G¿¿©Łsp©Łr B©Łr©Łny, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power. Making a tenuous pact, they become bound by a shared history of alienation and oppression. -- adapted from jacket.
