Shardik
Shardik is a fantasy novel written by Richard Adams in 1974.
Plot
Shardik takes place in an imaginary world. It is the story of a lonely hunter, Kelderek, who pursues Shardik, a giant bear believed to have the Power of God within him. Kelderek becomes involved in the politics of his entire empire and in a personal story of sin and atonement.
Adams later wrote a novel called Maia that takes place earlier in the same world. Several characters appear in both novels.
The novel is similar to Stephen King's Dark Tower version of Shardik.
