About this title

Synopsis:

Back in print after two decades, this fantasy tells of a young man who lives in a village deep in the forest in medieval times. Mark finds himself torn between his hero worship for charming highwayman Wat and his growing suspicion of Wat's cold savagery. And Mother Cloot, who may have sorcerous powers, works in equally suspicious ways--perhaps for evil, perhaps for good.

From Publishers Weekly:

An early fantasy novel from Wolfe, about a young man's troubled hero worship of a medieval highwayman, returns to print after an absence of nearly 20 years.
