Roots of the Mountains
Roots of the Mountains, published in 1889 by William Morris, is the second in a series of historical novels set in a pre-medieval Germanic world. The story follows a peaceful alliance of Dalesmen, Woodlanders, and Shepherds in the valley of Burgdale, whose tranquility is disrupted by the aggressive Sons of the Wolf and the invading Dusky Men. Morris's narrative reflects his socialist views and critiques the racial politics of his era, making this work notable for its social commentary. The novel, along with its predecessor, was later rediscovered and published in the Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library.
