About this ebook
'ASTONISHING' Locus, 'ENTHRALLING' Guardian, 'CAPTIVATING' Kirkus
***SHORTLISTED FOR THE PHILIP K. DICK AWARD***
The Book of Koli begins a breathtakingly original new trilogy set in a strange and deadly world of our own making.
Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognisable landscape. A place where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly seeds that will kill you where you stand. And if they don't get you, the Shunned men will.
Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He believes the first rule of survival is that you don't venture too far beyond the walls.
He's wrong.

Wonderful story that dragged me into the dystopian world (yes, another one, but this one is really good) of Koli. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the creation of the world in layers as you progress through the story. I stayed up reading late into the night far too often with this series, but not since reading "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" have I been so drawn into a book.
