About this ebook
He lives deep in the forest in the time of King Wenceslas, in a village older than record. The young man's hero-worship of the charming highwayman, Wat, is tempered by growing suspicion of Wat's cold savagery, and his fear of the sorcerous powers of Mother Cloot is tempered by her kindness. He must decide which of these powers to stand by in the coming battle between Good and Evil that not even his isolated village will be able to avoid.

Reviews for The Devil In A Forest
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This really isn't fantasy at all. There are a few eerie moments, when the narrator is superstitious, but that's it. Still, "low fantasy" fans will probably enjoy the setting.
