The forest does not care who is right.
It only knows hunger.
In a brutal winter on the edge of civilization, Elias has built a fragile life for his family—one bound by iron rules, hard labor, and the belief that restraint keeps monsters at bay. But when armed strangers arrive at his door, led by a man who wears cruelty like a badge and power like a coin, restraint becomes weakness.
What follows is not a tale of heroes or mercy.
It is a slow descent into blood, loss, and the truth Elias has spent his life denying: some wounds do not heal, and some hungers cannot be starved. As violence shatters his home and the forest closes in, Elias is forced to confront what he is willing to become to protect what remains—and how much of himself he is prepared to lose.
Consumed by Vengeance is a dark, atmospheric frontier horror novel steeped in cold, hunger, and moral collapse.
Blending survival realism with creeping, folkloric dread, it asks a single unforgiving question:
When justice fails, what does a man owe his rage?
Perfect for readers of gritty historical horror, bleak survival fiction, and stories where the land itself is watching—and waiting.
