Fortnight in the Shepherd's Forest

By Ariel Archer

14th Century Romania. Codrin Voinescu, a retired soldier, a man approaching 50, haunted by past choices, grief, loss, and a present that seems without hope and purpose. A return trip to his home village in Transylvania that ends up in one last unexpected conflict. A hasty retreat into the nearby Hoia Baciu Forest, a woodland with an equally haunted reputation, offers Codrin an encounter with a strange Faerie (well, half-Faerie, technically) guide who has a rather interesting story of her own. Their sojourn in the woods and what happens over a two week period will change everything

Spend a Fortnight in the Shepherd's Forest as Ariel Archer (author of the Fate, Chance, and Choices trilogy) takes you on a heart-driven journey into dark gothic fantasy, nightmarish fairy-tales, plot-twisting narrative, and a transparent exploration of the Human condition, all set in one of Eastern Europe's most captivating periods of late medieval history.
