The Iron Wolves

Remic (The Clockwork Vampire) delivers the goods for fans of stark brutality and violence in a fantasy setting. The Iron Wolves are the stuff of legend. Their might and grit defeated the deadly mud-orcs, saving Vagandrak and ending the War of Zakora. Now, 25 years later, peace is threatened by Orlana the Changer and her inhuman army of beast-human splices, allied with ambitious King Zorkai of Zakora. Calling the Iron Wolves together, Gen. Dalgoran of Vagandrak finds them lessened by age and their war experiences, “like bad and rotting apples from the bottom of a broken barrel.” Fighting Orlana’s evil army and serving a king who’s gone insane, the Iron Wolves must overcome their personal issues and bond on the field of battle. A cliffhanger ending promises more gritty action in future installments. (Jan.)
