The Forest of Lost Souls: A Novel

A fearless woman, raised in the forest, fights against a group of powerful men in a novel about good versus evil, the enduring nature of myth, and the power of love by #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz.

Meet Vida: A Woman of the Wilderness

• Raised in the wilderness by her late great-uncle, Vida is a young woman with an almost preternatural connection to nature.
• She shares a deep bond with the wolves that roam the forested mountains she calls home.
• Shaped by hard experiences, love, loss, and the cryptic prophecies of a fortuneteller, Vida yearns for peace.

But peace is hard to come by, especially with the ominous presence of Kettleton County casting its dark shadow nearby.

A Tragic Loss and a Lingering Mystery

• Kettleton County is where José Nochelobo, the love of Vida’s life and a beloved local hero, met his end in what was described as a tragic accident.
• Vida, however, has reasons to doubt the official story.
• The truth cannot stay hidden forever, and neither can the powerful men of Kettleton, who demand that Vida, like José, disappear forever.

A Battle for Justice

One by one, these men come for Vida, ready to do whatever it takes to see their sinister plans succeed. But Vida is ready for them.

• With the forest and its formidable wonders on her side, she stands resolute.
• Vida will not rest until goodness and order are restored.

The forest waits, and so does Vida. Will justice prevail?
