Venture into the untamed heart of the North Woods, where fortunes are won and lost among the towering giants of the wilderness.

From the pen of Holman Day, the beloved bard of Maine, comes King Spruce—a sweeping adventure novel that plunges you into the rough-and-tumble world of the nineteenth-century timber barons. This is more than just a story; it's an immersion into a bygone era of axe and saw, of river drives and rugged ambition, where the scent of pine needles and the promise of wealth hung thick in the cold northern air.

The fight for the last vast stands of virgin spruce timber ignites a fierce battle between two powerful lumber kings. At the center of the storm is a young man, caught between his loyalties and his own moral compass. As the conflict escalates from the boardrooms to the backwoods, he must navigate treacherous log drives, corporate espionage, and the raw, unforgiving power of nature itself.
