Feral

Both a thriller and a love story, Feral is an eco-feminist revenge tale.

Soon after Raphaëlle discovers animal footprints outside her cabin, deep in the Canadian woods, her dog vanishes and is eventually found severely injured. And then it is not long before Raphaëlle herself becomes the prey of the forest's ultimate predator, which is not animal, but man.

Set in the Canadian forest, Feral is a feminist eco-thriller, a passionate love story and an ode to nature's ferocious beauty.

Raphaëlle, a forty-year-old forest warden, has been estranged from her family for many years. She lives with her beloved dog, Coyote, in a caravan deep in the Canadian woods. Fiercely independent and cut off from civilisation, she is always armed, protecting herself from bears, coyotes and lynxes who she in turn defends from sadistic, overzealous poachers.
