About This Book

In a medieval woodland setting the narrative shifts between a tense manhunt by foresters and the secretive encampments of poachers, outlaws, and radical companions. Around hidden fires a visionary agitator speaks of sweeping change while more worldly associates argue for theft, violence, or spectacle, and personal rivalries surface. The plot traces the uneasy alliance of idealism and opportunism, the porous border between law and wilderness, and the ways secrecy, loyalty, and competing motives push a small circle of conspirators toward wider social unrest.
