What is the nature of sacrifice? Cameron O'Donnel is a gentle hiker who wanders into what appears to be a green and idyllic Welsh valley. Meeting the charming and beautiful Rowan, he quickly loses his heart, only to begin an unstoppable journey into forest mysteries, cult, and deadly peril. In Dying Gods, author Patrick Boal embraces and re-visions the story of the late 14th-century Middle English romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight into the present day. He weaves myth, reality and intrigue to share this eternal story of a flawed man tested beyond his moral and emotional limits - a man forced to question the boundaries between ancient beliefs, evil and reality.
