Injured and nursed back to health from the skirmish by a mysterious celestial woman, Corin vows the blackguards that broke his family will pay for their sins. So consumed by revenge and with his sister still missing, the would-be warrior joins an elite regiment… and marches full-tilt into his dark and deadly destiny. Can the wayward youth save what’s left of his kin, or will he be buried along with his wrath? Gray Wolf is the pulse-pounding first book in the Legends of Ansu fantasy series. If you like a mix of drama and myth, biting humor, and clashing swords, then you’ll love J.W. Webb’s swashbuckling rescue mission. Buy Gray Wolf to hunt down evil today! "Facing down and evading death in a dozen different ways, this unpredictable protagonist is an excellent center point for this new series, one that delivers in the way that good fantasy should. The military campaigns and pounding action sequences keep the story moving quickly, as does the rapid passage of time in the prose. Gray Wolf is an engaging work of fantasy that sets the stage well for a much longer saga, and the momentum of this first installment bodes well for the rest of this sword-swinging series." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★ The author has created a wonderfully rich world with interesting characters and a plot that will draw you in from the start. If you love a book with swords, legends and twists this is for you. Chrissi, Goodreads Love this book. Corin is such a bad ass. My dude can't catch a break. So much losses in his young life. Good likable characters and ladies love Corin. I see lots of possibilities going forward for this character. Hope the others are as good. Review by Karsa, Goodreads I really enjoyed this book and will be reading the series. I asked for the order of the books because it got a bit confusing. I liked the characters and the plot. It was a good ground laying book for time frame and world building. Michele, Goodreads Gray Wolf is about Corin An Fol who was orphaned at a young age because raiders killed his family and kidnapped his older sister. He wants to avenge his family and later decides to join The Wolves to become a warrior. Gray Wolf has elements of Sword & Sorcery , Gods, Warriors, and Celtic Myth. So if you like those elements in a Fantasy story then this book will be a treat. But this is just the beginning of Corin's journey and I am definitely going to read the rest of the Books in The Legends of Ansu Series . This was a great epic Fantasy read full of action and mystery and intrigue. I also loved the extra illustrations in every chapter of Roger Garland. Can't wait to start on the next book.! Clairisa, Goodreads. Okay -- What's the story about? Gray Wolf is the first book featuring Corin an Fol, and is Book 1 in the new Mercenary Trilogy. The novel tells of Corin's early days before the high events narrated in The Crystal King Trilogy. Do I need to read The Crystal King Trilogy first? No. Although written before, the events recorded in that trilogy are unrelated to the new Mercenary series. You can start with either. When will Mercenary Book 2 be available? And the next book? It already is! Legends of the Longsword is on sale now, and the third book- Wolves and Assassins will be available for purchase early 2019 Where can I learn more about your fantasy series?
