(<i>Publishers Weekly</i>)</b> <p/>Beyond the Black River, among the forests and mountains of the north, lives an ancient race of people. Their lives are measured in centuries, not decades; they revel in wilderness and resilience, and they scorn wealth and comfort. <p/>By contrast, those in the south live in the moment, their lives more fleeting. They crave wealth and power; their ambition is limitless, and their cunning unmatched. <p/>When the armies of the south flood across the Black river, the fragile peace between the two races is shattered. On a lightning-struck battlefield, the two sides will fight -- for their people, for their land, for their very survival.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>The Wolf </i>is a work of extraordinary imagination and perhaps the most captivating first novel I've ever read.--<i><b>Michael Dobbs, author of House of Cards</b></i><br><br>An action-packed and blood-splattered tour de force . . . .
