A Knight On Wolf Island
For Readers Who Like Their Survival Stories Darker
In the untamed reaches of the 1800s, survival is only the beginning.
If Alone met Cast Away in the shadow of a Stephen King nightmare, it might look something like A Knight on Wolf Island.
When a whaling ship goes down in a brutal maritime disaster, Tayen, a half-Navajo blacksmith, is the only man who makes it out alive. The sea carries him to Wolf Island, a remote place of black beaches, violent storms, dense forests, and no sign that another human being has ever set foot there.
At first, Tayen has more immediate problems. He needs shelter before the weather turns. Food before hunger weakens him. Whatever he can salvage from the wreck before the sea takes it for good. Then darkness comes.
Something moves beyond the tree line. The wolves don't behave like wolves, and the farther Tayen ventures into the island, the less anything seems to obey the rules of the natural world.
Soon, surviving Wolf Island means more than enduring hunger, cold, and isolation. Tayen begins to realize that he may not be the first to find this place, and that he may not have found it by accident.
Ready to Enter Wolf Island?
If you like your survival stories brutal, your mysteries remote, and your supernatural horror rooted in legends that make you wonder what might actually be waiting beyond the firelight, A Knight on Wolf Island belongs on your nightstand.
Part survival fiction, part maritime adventure, with dark fantasy, skinwalker legends, and a forest where the wolves are the least of Tayen's problems, this is not a story about simply surviving a shipwreck.
The real question is whether he can survive what found him afterward.
