A dark, brutal work of supernatural horror and animal revenge from Scott Hawkins, the critically acclaimed author of The Library at Mount Char.

Blacktail is a half-breed wolf, born to hunt. When he finds love beyond a garden wall, he dares to imagine a peaceful life – until men butcher his mate and unborn pups in a surgical act of cruelty.

His grief ignites a rampage of torn throats and shattered bone, a slaughter so absolute it draws the gaze of an ancient feline witch. She sends him south to wake the sleeping Forest God and end the age of reason. Fuelled by a rage that frightens Hell itself, Blacktail wages war . . .

From a gore-soaked wilderness to a burning confrontation with Heaven, Blacktail is a feral odyssey of vengeance.
