‘Outstanding’ – Daily Mail ‘Glorious’ – V. E. Schwab ‘Blacktail will consume you’ – Marcus Kliewer

**Now a nominee for the Goodreads Choice Awards 2026!**

A dark, brutal work of fantasy 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. Soon, Blacktail’s violence draws the gaze of an ancient feline witch. She sends him south to wake the sleeping Forest God and end the age of reason.

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 rid the world of humans.
