This novel is quite unlike anything I have read before. It takes the reader into a fascinating world of historical information, gripping plot and a great bunch of characters both human and animal. I thoroughly recommend it.
Jack is an orphan who is seeking to unravel the mystery of his parents’ deaths. Jack wears around his neck a token of a silver wolf, which is his only clue to the identity of their killers. Yet Jack is unaware that he is being hunted by the same killers.
The novel opens with an Authors’ Note providing the historical context of the novel and follows with a map and a very much appreciated Cast of Characters, divided into the three parts of the novel and their locations.
This was such a pleasure to read. It features numerous memorable characters, plenty of action and adventure, thrilling battle scenes. Yet there is also plenty of lively dialogue and earthy humour. Jack Fiskardo is an engaging hero, fierce and intractable yet with a kind heart when dealing with animals and the vulnerable.
