Story
Roper, the Black Lord of the north, may have vanquished the Suthern army at the Battle of Harstathur. But the greatest threat to his people lies in the hands of more shadowy forces. In the south, the disgraced Bellamus bides his time. Learning that the young Lord Roper is planning to invade the southern lands, Bellamus conspires with his Queen to unleash a weapon so deadly it could wipe out Roper's kind altogether. And at a time when Roper needs his friends more than ever, treachery from within puts the lives of those he loves in mortal danger.

It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well. Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news.

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.

It had me addicted
I was recommended this book as the author is a friend of a friend, I wasn't expecting too much but thought it was worth the credit. As a fan of epic fantasy I found it captivating. After the first hour I couldn't stop listening, my productivity at work plummeted and relationships suffered 10/10 would do again

A brilliant tale, most excellently told.
It’s a travesty that this book has so few reviews. It captured me from the off and kept hold all the way through.
Apart from the excellent plot and characters, I really enjoyed the author’s take on the business of war.
It’s also superbly read.
I feel that Bernard Cornwell & Angus Donald aficionados would be well served by giving it a go.
Really looking forward to part 2....

I wasn't too sure about this book to start with.
However, it was quick to develop and I couldn't stop listening to it. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series.
As expected, it was superbly narrated by Matt Addis.

Excellent medieval fantasy
Excellent start to a new mediaeval fantasy series. More focused on battles and less on intrigue, than say, A Game of Thrones, but worth your attention nevertheless.
I only deducted one star from the story rating as I felt the scheming and plotting at the opposing royal courts deserved more time, but perhaps that is to come in the subsequent books in the series.
The narrator is absolutely perfect for this book, doing a very good impression of heroic warriors in the middle of a battle.

Superb!
As Bernard Cornwell is my goto author for a good old dose of historical fiction (or as I call it: true fantasy) I was looking for something similar to his work but with a ‘new voice’ so to speak. In this book I was given a spoonful of exactly what I was seeking. Carew is an intelligent yet unpretentious writer who has adopted an anthropological concept which I have hitherto not yet come across in any other medieval fantasy. Two very different species have evolved from the primates and now each oppose the other for survival and vi for domination of Albion (obviously Britain). It’s a beautifully crafted story told from both sides and with enough bloody battles, devious females, and political intrigue to keep the narrative moving in an interesting direction. The characters act believably and the narrator expertly keeps the voices consistent and identifiable. I cannot wait to delve into the sequel. Well done!

Talented author. Great yarn.
I bought this book in error. I don’t really do fantasy genre but I was hooked by page 2.
Twists turns and plots without the inevitable ‘I can guess where this is going’ scenarios.
I normally listen when driving or walking the dog but this tale had me listening at the dining table, in bed & whilst gardening.
I’ve now started the sequel. Who knows maybe fantasy is my new girl genre.

No words needed, 5 Stars are not enough!!
Brilliantly writen and brilliantly narrated. In a time that's not easy to surpass Game of Thrones, i think this author could boast and be proud of the achievement.
Congratulations !!!
