Synopsis

Control of the land under the Northern Sky rests in the balance as two fierce races collide in the sequel to The Wolf, a thrilling and savagely visceral epic fantasy from Leo Carew, an author who "will remind readers of George R. R. Martin, David Gemmell, or . . . Joe Abercrombie." (Booklist)
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 . . .

Goodreads review by Alex on December 18, 2022

Definitely better than The Wolf but there's just something missing for me overall. I'd say this is more like a 3.5? I really like the setting and the part of history this is set in and as much as it reminds me of The Last Kingdom and Vikings in really missing some characters I care about. There's no......more

Goodreads review by Rachel (TheShadesofOrange) on November 28, 2022

3.5 stars Again, this was a tough one to rate because I wonder if the issue is me as the reader and not the book. I enjoyed this one a bit more than book one but I am still finding this series daunting. The story itself is not necessarily complicated but the writing style felt dry. This is a very cha......more
