The Feral Girl

Lost and alone, a young girl braves the jungles of Aenya armed only with her bow, becoming predator and prey.When food in her homeland becomes scarce, Thelana is sent away to find civilization. The days that follow become a fight to stay alive as she makes her way through the Wildwood, an unforgiving, two-hundred-day trek through wilderness and ruin, where she discovers a world far stranger and more terrifying than she ever imagined. The Feral Girl is a harrowing tale of survival, hope, and the limits of the human heart.

My inspiration for The Feral Girl includes Tarzan, Lord of the Flies, Into the Wild, and Cold Mountain. If you enjoyed those books, you may enjoy Thelana's story. Please ignore Amazon's "books similar to" recommendations feature because it is driven by an algorithm that does not represent my work in any way. Thelana's story is about a young girl lost in the woods, alone, hungry, and frightened. It is a survival tale about a girl from a fictional indigenous culture.
