The Book of Koli (The Rampart Trilogy, 1)

"A captivating start to what promises to be an epic post-apocalyptic fable" (Kirkus), The Book of Koli is the unforgettable story of a young boy struggling to find his place in a world where nature itself has turned against humanity.
Everything that lives hates us...
Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognizable landscape. A place where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly seeds that will kill you where you stand. And if they don't get you, one of the dangerous shunned men will.
Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He believes the first rule of survival is that you don't venture too far beyond the walls.
He's wrong.

A book with many heavy aspects of a fantasy dystopian world, this book depicts the story of a young man going through his own "hero's journey" in a sick and brooding world. Although this was my first book I've read in the first perspective, I believe that it represented this style wonderfully. I would recommend this book, if you are a fan of horror with a twist of realistic fantasy, this would be a good series to try.
The latest in my quest to read absolutely everything Mike Carey ever writes... loved it and about to start the second in the series.
