The Wolf King by Alice Borchardt
Compelled to leave her life with Maeniel in his mountain stronghold, Regeane is drawn back to her father's Saxon roots in order to defend their lands, their souls, and their way of life from Charlemagne. Faced with such a powerful and implacable foe, there seems to be little choice left to Regeane. She must try to find a way to get close to the most powerful ruler in the world, and put a stop to the persecution of her shapeshifter kin for ever. Beautifully written, richly detailed and magnificently told, this brings a unique and breathtaking trilogy to a triumphant close.
Praise for the author: 'A daring and vibrant new voice on the female literary frontier - a writer with the vision and scope to conjure up her own thrilling mythos and the craftsmanship to render it in breathtaking, shimmering prose.. The Silver Wolf is a stunning initiation into a dark and dazzling realm' Anne Rice. 'A marvellous tale, it is a thriller, tragedy, horror and eventually a fairy-tale love story' The Telegraph. 'Borchardt reaches descriptive and dramatic peaks with Regeane's vulpine supersenses as she noses about Rome by night, reading the dead city's skin and air. Top-flight fantasy' Kirkus Reviews. 'A very vividly written story. I really got into it' Marion Zimmer Bradley
