This time we are taken to Bennett, a town where all the human inhabitants were killed by the Elders. There are so many little things about this series that I love. No, there won’t be too many surprises, but that’s okay. Fans of this world won’t be too surprised with Wild Country… there is a small group of humans trying to assimilate and work together with the Others to reopen a small town decimated when Namid’s teeth and claws swept through the human territories, there are Others setting boundaries and striving to understand their human neighbors, and, of course, there are bad guys who come to town and think they can get away with their nefarious deeds. The newest release in Anne Bishop’s The World of the Others series takes place simultaneously with the last book in the original Others series, Etched in Bone. And the arrival of the Blackstone Clan, outlaws and gamblers all, will uncover secrets…or bury them. And a couple with four foster children-one of whom is a blood prophet-hope to find acceptance.īut as they reopen the stores and the professional offices and start to make lives for themselves, the town of Bennett attracts the attention of other humans looking for profit. A deadly type of Other wants to run a human-style saloon. A young female police officer has been hired as the deputy to a Wolfgard sheriff. Now efforts are being made to resettle Bennett as a community where humans and Others live and work together. One of those places is Bennett, a town at the northern end of the Elder Hills-a town surrounded by the wild country.

There are ghost towns in the world-places where the humans were annihilated in retaliation for the slaughter of the shape-shifting Others.

In this powerful and exciting fantasy set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Others series, humans and the shape-shifting Others will see whether they can live side by side…without destroying one another.
