Publisher's Summary

Leo Carew's debut novel, The Wolf, the first book in the Under the Northern Sky series, is a masterpiece in epic historical fantasy - a new voice to rival David Gemmell or George R. R. Martin. 

Violence and death have come to the land under the Northern Sky. The Anakim dwell in the desolate forests and mountains beyond the black river, the land under the Northern Sky. Their ancient ways are forged in Unthank silver and carved in the grey stone of their heartland, their lives measured out in the turning of centuries, not years. 

By contrast, the Sutherners live in the moment, their vitality much more immediate and ephemeral than their Anakim neighbours. Fragile is the peace that has existed between these very different races - and that peace is shattered when the Suthern armies flood the lands to the north. 

These two races revive their age-old hatred and fear of each other. Within the maelstrom of war, two leaders will rise to lead their people to victory. Only one will succeed. 

The Wolf is a thrilling, savagely visceral, politically nuanced and unexpectedly wry exploration of power and identity - and how far one will go to defend them.

Amazing trilogy

Can’t praise these books enough, I was a little disheartened after I had finished them as I didn’t know what to listen to next that could top this.
Narrator did a superb job bringing the world and characters to life.

thrilling!

the narrative took a bit to get used to but once Matt got warmed up it was like he was born to it...bringing the characters and story to life in a non stop thrill ride.
can't wait to start the next book and have book 3 on pre order.

Couldn't stop listening to it

now usually im not someone who likes to read, well even listen to audio books. This is the one and only book where I started and I could not stop. It was getting to a point where I would even chuck it on during my cardio sessions! I could not recommend it enough.
