    The Wolves of War: Book One of The Wolfheart Chronicles

    John Gwynne

    Formats & Editions

    THE WOLVES OF WAR ARE BARING THEIR FANGS

    International bestseller John Gwynne delivers a blockbuster epic fantasy inspired by Slavic mythology and packed with ancient magic, heroic sacrifice and thrilling adventure.

    'A heartfelt tour de force by one of fantasy's greatest writers' Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author of Empire of the Vampire

    The Clans once lived freely, honouring their gods and traditions. Then the northern invaders unleashed a tide of blood and fire. Now the Clans are a conquered people.

    Ivan cares not for wars or kings. His only concern is the safety of his family, especially his daughter Halia, whom he would protect with his life. Halia has been trapped in her own body since birth, yet at night she has dreams of running with wolves and speaking with fae creatures of the forest. Many believe her cursed, but Halia's awakening powers may be the only way she and her family can survive the coming storm.

    For the wolves of war are stalking the horizon. Two princes have become mortal enemies, and an iron-toothed witch haunts the shadows. As mighty nations clash, Halia must master her strange magic to protect those she loves. To do so, she must accept a terrifying truth.

    Sometimes, the only way through the darkness is to embrace it.
