Synopsis

The Viking King Authun leads his men on a raid against an Anglo-Saxon village. Men and women are killed indiscriminately but Authun demands that no child be touched. He is acting on prophecy. A prophecy that tells him that the Saxons have stolen a child from the Gods. If Authun, in turn, takes the child and raises him as an heir, the child will lead his people to glory.

But Authun discovers not one child, but twin baby boys. Ensuring that his faithful warriors, witnesses to what has happened, die during the raid Authun takes the children and their mother home, back to the witches who live on the troll wall. And he places his destiny in their hands.

And so begins a stunning multi-volume fantasy epic that will take a werewolf from his beginnings as the heir to a brutal Viking king, down through the ages. It is a journey that will see him hunt for his lost love through centuries and lives, and see the endless battle between the wolf, Odin and Loki - the eternal trickster - spill over into countless bloody conflicts from our history, and over into our lives.

This is the myth of the werewolf as it has never been told before and marks the beginning of an extraordinary new fantasy series from Gollancz.

You know, there are times when publicity can work for a book and sometimes when it works against the enjoyment of a book. Sadly, for me this was one of those occasions where the publicity did me, as a reader, no favours. If I had been able to sit down and just read the book, with no preconceptions or......more

Goodreads review by Emma on September 25, 2017

Werewolves, Witches and Vikings galore. I think I bought this book due to the endorsement from Joe Abicrombe on the cover, author of the spectacular "The Blade Itself". The title implied to me that it would be a standard young adult fantasy, but although it featured the usual love triangle, it ended......more
