Who, or what, is the Wolf of Helocene?
It is a thousand years old, but has been asleep for a generation.
The Prince of Moelberg seeks to make the Wolf his ally.
The bitter race of Kurne would lure the Wolf to its doom.
The Sennen, imprisoned in the darkness, are bound to it by an ancient oath.
The Greencapes - the Prince's finest warriors - would follow it to Hell and back.
Arna is a timid seventeen year-old.
Her life is simple.
She has never left the borders of her village.
She has no interest in the affairs of the wider world.
And she is the Wolf of Helocene, even though she does not know it yet.
But Arna will discover the truth soon enough.
And when she does, her life will become much more complex and dangerous.
The Wolf of Helocene heralds a new, gripping dark fantasy cycle. Set in a world where a crumbling system of rules govern the lives of everyone, even the non-human races that inhabit the darkest places, Arna is a very modern heroine. She must overcome treachery, prejudice, terrifying adversaries and her own personal demons in order to survive. Perhaps she can even find love and respect amongst the chaos of war.
The Wolf is an extraordinary journey; splendidly written, enormously readable; dark, engrossing and utterly memorable, this book is essential for all fans of dark and epic fantasy.
