About This Book

A young hunter paddling a swollen frontier river is ambushed by a towering, feral woman who travels with trained wolves; wounded and nearly killed, he is rescued and tended by a solitary giant hermit. The narrative unfolds through rescue, captivity, and violent confrontations involving renegades and local settlers, punctuated by mysterious shootings, revenge, and shifting alliances. Episodes trace the hermit’s past, clashes over leadership among men and beasts, and escalating bloodshed, exploring themes of survival in the wilderness, the collision between wildness and community order, and the costs of personal vengeance.
