The Wolves of War

by Greg Curtis · 2016

The Wolves of War, the first installment of John Gwynéné's Wolfheart Chronicles, is an epic fantasy set in a world inspired by Slavic mythology. The story follows Ivan, a father devoted to protecting his family, and his daughter Halia, who is haunted by prophetic dreams of wolves and fae. As northern invaders subjugate the once‑free Clans, Halia’s latent magical powers awaken, offering a chance to resist the tide of war. The novel weaves ancient magic, heroic sacrifice, and a clash of nations, featuring mortal enemies, an iron‑toothed witch, and a looming storm that forces characters to confront darkness within themselves. It is positioned as a heroic, high‑fantasy adventure for adult readers, promising a blend of mythic lore and thrilling combat.
