What if Blacktail could end the human race responsible for the death of his family and for the destruction of the natural world, altogether? To do so, Blacktail must find and wake the Forest God. Only He might stand against the plague of men. Blacktail knows that his north woods are dwindling to nothing. He sees no other choice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Blacktail journeys farther from his wild home and deeper into the world of man, he encounters strangers--animal, mortal, and otherworldly--who, for their own reasons, want to help Blacktail rid the world of humans.
