The Geis of Wolves The Long Exile, Book 1, (Paperback)

BOOK I - The Long Exile <p>A starving king. An unforgivable sin against the wild. And a curse that turns a royal house into something that cannot die. </p><p>In the last days of Roman Britain, King Fergus mac Eirc empties a sacred glen to feed his starving people - and the horned god of the forests answers with a judgment that will outlast kingdoms. Fergus and his house are bound into wolves: deathless, shape-shifting, sworn to guard the vanishing wild for as long as one acre of it remains. </p><p>It is meant to be a punishment. </p><p>Driven from their burning kingdom into a wilderness that does not want them, the cursed pack must learn what they have become - the hunger that takes them against their will, the joy of the running that threatens to swallow the man, the slow terrible loss of companions who slip into the wolf and never come back. They bargain with the fae folk of the hollow hills for a home, at a price not all of it is spoken aloud. They build something in the heart of the oldest wood that no song has a word for: a guardian house, with a people of its own, and a fearless child at the center of it whom the whole home loves - and cannot save. </p><p>And far to the south, a new faith is rising that does not pray to the wild but clears it, hill by hill, cross by cross - the first edge of a tide that will, in the books to come, rise to drown everything they have built. </p><p>The Long Exile is the founding novel of The Geis of Wolves, an epic fantasy saga of the cursed line of Dál Riata - Celtic and Norse myth woven through the real history of early-medieval Britain, told across six centuries. It is a story of grief and gallows humor, of monsters who are more human than the holy men who hunt them, and of what a soul becomes when it is given far, far too long to live. </p><p>For readers of Bernard Cornwell, Robin Hobb, and grimdark historical fantasy where the line between monster and man is the whole question. </p><p>The wild has one last family. They cannot win. They will not stop.</p>
