The Silver Wolf is an epic historical adventure and journey of discovery, based around events in the 30 Years War which took place during the 17th century.
This is not a period I was very familiar with, but the author helpfully provides an overview at the beginning of the book. The story is fictional but broadly underpinned by historical events and each chapter begins with an image and quote from the period, helping to provide context and atmosphere.
The story focuses on Jack Fiskardo and his journey in search of the truth about his parents' death, with the book split into three sections covering his difficult childhood, the events which led to his parents' death, and then his adult life as a soldier searching for his parents' killers.
The Silver Wolf is the first book in the Fiskardo's War series and I'm looking forward to reading more.
