The Wood of the Old Blood

Description

After the Trojan War, a forest sprouted from the blood of a massacred army. Seven hundred years later, a slave girl named Dorica is the only one who may enter the Wood and not suffer its curse. There she cuts saplings for her master to make spears that never miss their mark. When a foreigner arrives at the shop seeking a treasure hidden in the Wood, Dorica decides to find it for herself and use it to bargain for her freedom. But she soon finds something in the Wood far more precious than any treasure she could imagine.

“The Wood” is a prequel to my grimdark portal fantasy series, “Three Wells of the Sea.”
