Since I don't have access to the 'god of the woods novel', I can only make general assumptions. In such a novel, the god of the woods could be an ancient and mysterious figure. Maybe it's a character that has been there since the beginning of the forest's existence. It could have a connection to the spiritual essence of the woods, and perhaps its powers are tied to the natural cycles of the forest, like the changing of the seasons. The god of the woods might also play a role in the lives of the people or creatures living near or within the forest, either as a benevolent protector or a fearsome force to be reckoned with.
