The Wolf and the Woodsman

In this evocative debut inspired by Hungarian history and Jewish mythology, a young pagan woman named Évike, deemed powerless and cast out, forms an unexpected alliance with Gáspár Bárány, a one-eyed captain of the Woodsmen and a disgraced prince. When both find themselves in a deadly situation following a horrifying attack, their fates intertwine as they navigate a landscape fraught with betrayal, oppression, and the quest for power. As they journey from the treacherous northern tundra to the corrupted capital, Évike discovers her hidden magic, and together they must confront their loyalties and the sacrifices needed to challenge a tyrant intent on subjugating their people.
