Blacktail - Scott Hawkins
Who does your dog pray to?
Blacktail, a half-breed wolf, knows only the language of the hunt. When men kill his mate and unborn pups, he answers with a slaughter that is absolute.
In his violence, Blacktail draws the gaze of an ancient and terrible feline witch. She sets him on a path south – to wake the sleeping Forest God and end the plague of humankind. As Blacktail journeys farther from his wild home and deeper into the world of man, he encounters strangers – animal, mortal, and otherworldly – who want to help him rid the world of humans.
From the blood-slicked wilderness to a burning confrontation with Archangels, this is a feral odyssey of vengeance – brutal, heartbreaking and unlike anything else in fiction.
The Forest God sleeps. But what will be the price of waking him?
