The Human Wilderness

Shelley Hazen

Before the events of *The Human Wilderness*, a world already strained by fear, survival, and the darker impulses of humanity begins to reveal the monsters among it. This atmospheric prequel follows a pivotal encounter that sheds light on the forces shaping the story to come, while exploring the fragile boundaries between civilization and savagery. Tense and thought-provoking, it offers a compelling introduction to a larger narrative about survival, morality, and what it means to remain human.
