Publisher Description
A young lord faces off against an ingenious general in an epic fantasy that's "twisty in its political maneuverings, gritty in its battle descriptions, and rich with a sense of heroism and glory." (Publishers Weekly)
Beyond the Black River, among the forests and mountains of the north, lives an ancient race of people. Their lives are measured in centuries, not decades; they revel in wilderness and resilience, and they scorn wealth and comfort.
By contrast, those in the south live in the moment, their lives more fleeting. They crave wealth and power; their ambition is limitless, and their cunning unmatched.
When the armies of the south flood across the Black river, the fragile peace between the two races is shattered. On a lightning-struck battlefield, the two sides will fight -- for their people, for their land, for their very survival.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Set in a fantastical version of medieval Britain, The Wolf is a dark, violent, and compelling story of how leadership is won or lost on the battlefield—and at home. When the warrior king Kynortas is killed by an age-old enemy, his teenage son Roper rises to the throne. With turmoil brewing in a neighbouring kingdom and his own castle, Roper has his hands full. Filled with bloody action, devious political machinations, and unexpected flashes of black humor, The Wolf is a thrilling read.
Customer Reviews
Dynamic characters, excellent prose, unexpected twists
You won’t be able to put it down.
Entertaining enough.
Solid read, fun battle sequences. Decent political intrigue at first. But it is to easily resolved by a weak plot thread. If you want a straight forward plot with predictable twists and epic battle sequences give it a go, but not much depth.
Not bad
Decent read overall got a little too drawn out in parts but overall pretty good.
