The Wild Road

Description

Alisanos, the deepwood, is more than just a forest...

...it is sentient, and predatory. Home to demons and worse, its mercurial boundaries can suddenly shift miles in any direction to encompass previously safe human lands - and those taken by the deepwood are forever changed.

Audrun, a human woman trapped within the forest, is reunited with her four children, only to learn that each has been marked by the deepwood's wild magic. And her newly born fifth child, captured by a winged demon, is still missing. Audrun has sworn to find the infant, but can a mere human possibly hope to outwit the monstrous inhabitants of Alisanos...and the nightmarish deepwood itself?

Reviews

"A new fantasy saga from Roberson (Sword-Dancer) establishes a universe teeming with fascinating humans, demons and demigods.... The pieces are in place for what promises to be a story of epic proportions." -- Publishers Weekly (for Karavans series)

"High-quality action fantasy." -- Booklist (for Karavans series)

"A fascinating world where the people are gamepieces on a gods' game.... The many mysteries set up are tantalizing enough to make me impatient for more." -- Locus (for Karavans series)

"What starts out as a simple tale of refugees escaping a war-torn land quickly becomes something more.... All the characters are beautifully drawn, and Roberson has uncannily lyrical phrasing." -- RT Bookclub (for Karavans series)
