They say Godling Wood was there when ancient magic still flowed through the veins of old Germania, that the wolves that stalk the wooded realm are as much man as they are beast, as much devil as they are god. They say the forest was already old by the time the first church was built upon its soil, that the bones beneath its roots come from a time before the gods even had names. They say you shouldn’t go into Godling Wood. Now the forest bears witness to the arrival of Damiano, an accomplished goliard of some repute—though not all of it good. Having exhausted the hospitality of the great lords of his warmer southern homeland, he has come to seek his fortune in the courts of the Holy Roman Empire, perhaps even to win himself a patron. As he is drawn deeper into the intrigues of Graf Hagen’s court, his own skills will come to play a part in unraveling the truth, and he will find himself at the centre of both horror and tragedy. A secret lies at the heart of Godling Wood, older even than the empire that dares to call itself Holy. These were not always Christian lands. Years ago, something else walked these woods. It never left. Drenched in atmosphere and brought to life by an unforgettable cast of characters, Devilry in Godling Wood is a tale steeped in myth and mystery, a blend of the historical, the sublime, and the horrific.
