Publisher's Synopsis
Sid Hines is alone in a world at war, a society immersed in the noise of modernity-global catastrophe, media frenzy, and immorality. When he ventures into the forest to escape it all, Sid suddenly realizes that he has become lost and that "home" is only a distant memory from the chaotic past. In his quest to return, he is captured by a people once told about only in story books, who force him to realize the savage nature of his ways and a history of hypocrisy that humans have long wished to forget. Sid discovers a transformation of both mind and body, and confronts not only the monster that lies within, but also the beasts that exist without. The more deeply Sid enters the forest, the more profound the questions become: what is morality, what is life's purpose, what ultimately is real, what truly is freedom?-and thus, the more he must grapple with the pain that comes with self-understanding. Will he survive the trials of nature and the reawakening of a history veiled in deceit, or will he succumb to the horror that is man In the Winter of the Beast?
