The Wolf and the Seven Rings

by Terry Cloutier

The action and adventure continue in the ninth installment of the bestselling Wolf of Corwick Castle series!

Hadrack of Corwick’s eldest son, Hughe, is missing—taken from the castle in the dead of night under mysterious circumstances. But by whom? And why? The horrific evidence left behind points to an unlikely suspect, and as Hadrack and his friends, Jebido and Baine, race to find Hughe, every clue they uncover only deepens the mystery—and the danger.

As winter’s grip loosens and spring arrives, war with Cardia flares up once more, forcing Hadrack to make an impossible choice: his duty to Ganderland and his king or the desperate search for his son. With time running out and trust in short supply, the Wolf of Corwick must navigate shifting loyalties and hidden threats, never sure who is truly on his side.

Meanwhile, unseen hands weave a dangerous game from the shadows. But who is pulling the strings—the White Ravens, the First Son, the Seven Rings, or someone whose ambitions eclipse them all?

The wolf

Sometimes a book or a character just resonates with you, and this is one of those times. The wolf series just hit the ninth book is the series and is still interesting as heck. With a world quite vast and the regions very differently , the plot never feels tiresome or repeated. For how long the author can keep this up, I'm not sure but I like where book ten is heading.

It took a while for Book 9 to come out but it was worth waiting for Terry Cloutier writes great fictional stories & The Wolf and the Seven Rings was no exception, it kept me interested right to the end had me looking for Book 10, I would highly recommend any one should read Terry Cloutier's Books along with the Series he writes.

Wolf at the door

Love the wolf series, great characters and bloody battles galore. Can't wait to find out what he does in the year of exile, if it lasts that long. Then what will happen on his return to Corwick.

As usual l enjoyed this book in the series. I can recommend this series to anyone. But I would recommend that you start from the first book. It will most likely help you if you know the back story. Waiting for he next book. Hopefully it won’t be a long wait.
