Synopsis

Avoided by the Coast Salish tribes for generations, Hurst Island is one of the last remnants of untracked wilderness on the British Columbia coastal frontier. Not yet overtaken by logging or commercial fishing, it is a final outpost where myth lives on, heedless of human progress or desire. As their boat sinks, Amy and Ian find themselves stranded on this island, unaware of what they are about to face.

Populated by legendary creatures from Coast Salish mythology, End of the Wild will take you on a journey across time and space to discover the limits of human civilization. What happens when we reach the end of nature? What happens when all the wild places disappear from the Earth once and for all?

A sailing adventure. A story of survival after losing everything. Dense and atmospheric. A feast for the senses. Rich in coastal history and legend, End of the Wild will lead you to question the nature of wilderness and what it can mean to the human soul. A memory of a distant and brutal past. A vision of a ruined future. When turning back is impossible and forging ahead means risking everything, where can you turn?

Goodreads review by Sarah on November 26, 2021

This book operates on a few different levels, whether it meant to or not. I will try to address how it functions on at least a couple of those levels. The first level is just as a novel. Here, it's not a bad effort. The story line is kind of science-fiction/fantasy but because it is centred in the re......more

So I found this book by accident and absolutely loved it!! I loved the BC setting because I am very familiar to those areas and it was written so well. I thought that the mythological aspect with the First Nations was a very new take that I’m not used to, however I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also loved......more
