‘This mountain stands just a few miles from here. It has become my life’s work to reveal its secrets. I would have you brave it and reveal them with me. You will be the ones to succeed where I have failed. I knew it when I first saw you.’
From the world of epic fantasy THE WOLF IN THE BLOOD comes a tale of magic, monsters and madness…
Riding for their lives from a horde of savage werewolves hellbent on tearing them apart, the ex-druid Cathal and his warrior companions meet the master magician Randal Rhin and his nine beautiful wives, who offer safety, riches, and the hope of a way home – but only if they help Rhin first…
As the party goes deep inside the mountain and deeper into Rhin’s obsession, to face bizarre traps and dangerous tests, Cathal begins to fear they might not live through it. But the terrible power at the heart of the mountain, and the shocking truth about Rhin’s nine wives, forces Cathal to make a terrible sacrifice – and make a choice which changes him forever…
BONUS CONTENT: This edition includes THE PARTY, the first tale of Cathal and Blasius.
The Wolf In The Blood
“Have you ever wondered what happens after death? Let me tell you. I do.”
Torn from the England of 1986 and dragged across space and time to the far reaches of the universe, Blix Summerland and her twin sister Katy fall into a terrifying world of magic and monsters.
When Katy is kidnapped by the demon Echmoth and the mysterious magician Belmont Dragonville, Blix sets out to rescue her, travelling by magic across distant, perilous worlds.
Aided by the troubled boy monk known as Constant, who has demons of his own and his own desperate quest, and the American bounty hunter Kit McCoy, who hides a secret she can’t tell, Blix fights to cope with the damage done to her, and reclaim what was taken away.
Chased relentlessly by a band of murderous werewolves, flung headlong into battles with strange creatures and stranger people, Blix hopes beyond hope that she’ll make it in time to save her sister before Echmoth destroys her soul.
But the wound Blix bears and the light of the moon make the wolf rise in her blood...
