So instead let’s imagine this shouldering in between James Abbott’s The Never King and Joe Abercrombie’s Half a King series - SFX magazineThe characters are memorable and entertaining … and this is a striking debut - SciFiNowImagine Game of Thrones rewritten by John le Carre … A marvellously accomplished debut - GuardianThe Wolf is [a] ferocious epic fantasy debut … You don’t want to miss this one - B&N Sci-Fi & FantasyGripping and ambitious … twisty in its political maneuverings, gritty in its battle descriptions, and rich with a sense of heroism and glory - Publishers WeeklyThe Wolf is a work of extraordinary imagination and perhaps the most captivating first novel I’ve ever read - Michael Dobbs, author of House of CardsWhen inexperienced young Roper unexpectedly inherits the throne he quickly realises his reign is going to be memorable only for its brevity unless he can he can recruit a handful of crafty outsiders to teach him how to stay alive. Full of dark conspiracies, larger-than-life characters, and tense battles, Leo Carew has created a rousing cross between The Magnificent Seven and Game of ThronesAbout The Author
