About this listen

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.

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!
