About this title

From the Back Cover:

A GLORIOUS EPIC SAGA FROM ONE OF THE WORLD’S MASTER STORYTELLERS ...

An age of heroes is dawning ...

The time has come for the wolves of Europe to take back their ancient Heartland. For centuries it has been corrupted and poisoned by the Mennen and by the evil Magyar wolf pack. Only by reclaiming it can the true gods be reborn and the natural order restored.

All over Europe, wolves are beginning the quest in answer to a mystical summons. Together they become the Wolves of Time. Together they will herald a new age ...

“The book is an epic saga of gods, legends, destiny, and mystical quests rather like the human saga of mythology ... It’s powerful stuff – an allegory for human behaviour and our relationship with our environment and the animal world.”
