DPL Speculative Fiction Book Group

Immediately following the Apex discussion, the group will discuss R.J. Barker’s “Gods of the Wyrdwood”, beginning at 6:30 p.m. 

The northlands of Crua are locked in eternal winter, but prophecy tells of the chosen child—who will rule in the name of their God, and take warmth back from the South. Cahal du Nahere was raised to be this person: the Cowl-Rai. Taken from his parents and prepared for his destiny. But when he was fifteen, he ceased to matter. Another Cowl-Rai had risen, another chosen one, raised in the name of a different God. The years of vicious physical and mental training he had endured, the sacrifice, all for nothing. Twenty years later, and Cahal lives a life of secrecy on the edges of Crua’s giant forests—hiding what he is, running from what he can do. But when he is forced to reveal his true nature, he sets off a sequence of events that will expose lies which have persisted for generations.
