Man and magic clash for control of the land in Drew B. Morgan's gritty debut title.
On the untamed continent of Kaptos, stone walls and hardened soldiers are all that stand between civilization and the giant beasts and deadly magic of the wilds. Ikaros, son of his city’s founders and a freshly-minted captain, is tasked with turning the militia’s greenest and most temperamental recruits into an elite squad of handlers for their home’s greatest hope: the egg of a throne eagle.
When the eagles raid the city to reclaim their egg, its accidental destruction spurs them to abduct the recruit responsible along with Ikaros – a child for a child. After surviving the eagle’s spell, they find themselves afflicted with a curse their people will never accept. The pair must find a cure or forever be hunted by both men and beasts – unless the young soldier’s secrets can unravel the war between them.
Red Rising meets Princess Mononoke in this gut-wrenching tale of survival and warring loyalties. Loosely inspired by the Icarus myth, Say It to the Wilds is for fantasy fans who love and fear nature in equal measure - and who maybe want to see it do its worst.
