ⓘ About Ava Reid
Reid’s inspiration for her debut novel came to her when she was reading about Hungary. She was then working on the content for a paper that had been given to the class and ended up researching Hungarian history after going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole. She sort of stumbled on a throwaway and casual sentence that told of how the first Christian King of Hungary named Saint Stephen had arrested his nephew and had his eyes gouged out for the crime of being a pagan. “The Wolf and the Woodsman” by Ava Reid is the story of Evike, a woman who lives in a forest veiled pagan village. In a society full of magic, she is an outcast as she does not have any, which makes the villagers believe she is accursed.
