Discover the gripping tale of Roots of the Mountains, the second installment in a planned trilogy of historical novels set in a captivating pre-medieval Germanic world. Following the themes from House of the Wolfings, published in the same year, this novel delves into the lives of a peaceful alliance of Dalesmen, Woodlanders, and Shepherds in the serene Burgdale valley. Their tranquil existence is shattered by the ruthless Sons of the Wolf and the invading Dusky Men. Through this narrative, Morris intricately weaves a commentary on the social and economic structures of his imagined world, reflecting the socialist ideals of his time. The portrayal of the Dusky Men—who, unable to integrate with the Germanic tribes, face brutal slaughter—echoes the racial tensions of his era. Once overlooked, Morriss two Germanic novels gained renewed attention when they were published as part of the esteemed Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library. - Summary by Phil BensonCopyright Romance Stories 世界 社会科学 科学
