Ghost Wolf

by Freya Pickard

They’re running from a ghost and have no idea where they’re running to …

“This is the type of work that should be taken seriously by fantasy fans.” Chris S

When Tari and Erl take refuge in a pine forest in order to escape from bandits, they hadn’t expected to be hunted by a pale wolf.

Trying to return to Port Haru no Hana, the two young companions are constantly chased in the opposite direction by the hungry-eyed lupine predator.

If they can’t find Lored and Otta again, how will they ever be able to find Orosturbe by themselves?

If you enjoy dark fantasy tales that keep you guessing and bring you genuine, changeable, real characters, you’ll love this! Readers of Robert Holdstock, Dune and Ursula Le Guin will enjoy this tale.

The Kaerling is a series of linked novellas that can be read individually as well as in chronological order.

contains scenes of a sexual nature, violence and slavery, which some readers may find upsetting.

Freya Pickard is a very talented poet. I’ve read several of her collections and remain in awe of her ability to capture emotions hidden beneath the everyday moments of life. Ghost Wolf is the first novel of hers that I’ve read. The Dark Fantasy genre is not my usual read, but I wanted to support Freya. Like her poetry, the writing is impeccable. The story itself is a complicated one, especially for someone like me who is drawn to cozy and nonfiction books. If you are a Fantasy aficionado, this book will not disappoint.

A story of pursuit, of friendship and trust, of love and loyalty. Ghost Wolf took me to places I had never imagined existed. I felt the fear when Erl and Tari are pursued by the wolf. I felt the heat of the desert and also the dark fear that Lally experiences in the City of Bones. This tale has got a hold on me and won't let go...
