The\n\nvillagers blame her corrupted bloodline--her father was a Yehuli man, one of the\n\nmuch-loathed servants of the fanatical king. When soldiers arrive from the Holy\n\nOrder of Woodsmen to claim a pagan girl for the king's blood sacrifice, Évike\n\nis betrayed by her fellow villagers and surrendered. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut when monsters attack the Woodsmen and their captive en\n\nroute, slaughtering everyone but Évike and the cold, one-eyed captain, they\n\nhave no choice but to rely on each other. Except he's no ordinary Woodsman--he's\n\nthe disgraced prince, Gáspár Bárány, whose father needs pagan magic to\n\nconsolidate his power. Gáspár fears that his cruelly zealous brother plans to\n\nseize the throne and instigate a violent reign that would damn the pagans and\n\nthe Yehuli alike. As the son of a reviled foreign queen, Gáspár understands\n\nwhat it's like to be an outcast, and he and Évike make a tenuous pact to stop\n\nhis brother. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs their mission takes them from the bitter northern tundra\n\nto the smog-choked capital, their mutual loathing slowly turns to affection, bound by a shared history of alienation and oppression. However, trust can\n\neasily turn to betrayal, and as Évike reconnects with her estranged father and\n\ndiscovers her own hidden magic, she and Gáspár need to decide whose side\n\nthey're on, and what they're willing to give up for a nation that never cared\n\nfor them at all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ava Reid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harper Voyager\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\/8\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.03\" H x 5.28\" L x 1.1\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780062973139\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kotton Kandy Skies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723623203115,"sku":"9780062973139","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/2978\/5899\/files\/9780062973139_d64ce356-d14c-4a09-9e32-1a05a521fc2d.jpg?v=1777873842","url":"https:\/\/2trc11-eq.myshopify.com\/products\/the-wolf-and-the-woodsman-ava-reid-paperback","provider":"Kotton Kandy Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
