Hunt the Ever Wild

“S. E. Kiser’s lyrical storytelling enchants like the wild itself in this quest for the impossible laced with dark magic and yearning.”
– Ruth Frances Long

“In Hunt the Ever Wild, S.E. Kiser has crafted a dark story of societal entrapment and hidden desires, which gallops along like a twisted fairytale. An enticing and original fantasy story, the Lichtenwald forest will get under your skin almost as deeply as the characters who try to tame it.”
– Laura Elliot, author of Awakened

“a glorious lyrical debut that haunts long after the reader exits its sentient forest.”
– Shalini Abeysekara, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of This Monster of Mine

“Hunt the Ever Wild is an exquisite debut, full of all my favorite things: enchanted forests, a city that glitters as it rots, and a romance that sparkles. Through a gaslamp fairy tale of a world, the story grapples with the true meaning of beauty, riches, and the wild. There is such materiality in Kiser’s writing: to read is to be swallowed by the Lichtenwald, by the flora and fauna and magic. If you love folkloric, romantic tales like Howl’s Moving Castle, this book is for you.”
– Rebecca Brodkey, author of Darker Than the Starless Night
