In the wilds of the forest, while investigating the mass slaughter of an innocent family, the king's forester comes face-to-face with a monstrous beast found only in folk tales and nightmares. Meanwhile, travelling the same road, a scholarly young priest begins his education in the nature of the evil that festers just beneath the surface of a seemingly peaceful realm. For the royal family is facing a betrayal that only sorcery can accomplish. And now, for three beautiful sisters, for a young man elevated to knighthood, and for for countless others, a darkness is emerging to shatter all that once seemed certain, familiar, and good. Numerous separate destinies will become entangled as malevolent forces stalk the land -- and the Briar King, that primeval harbinger of death, has awakened from his slumber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn from a dream during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, \u003cstrong\u003eReadMatter\u003c\/strong\u003e ReadMatter has blossomed into one of South Africa’s premier online used bookstores.
