The Company of the Wolf

Book 2 of the thrilling new series from David Wragg, acclaimed author of THE BLACK HAWKS. Seeking a better life, Ree and Javani have travelled west into the mountains, and left their pasts - and their troubles - behind. But new places bring new problems, and when they stumble across a lone traveller under bandit attack, they make the mistake of lending a hand. Forced to take refuge in the traveller's village, they quickly find allies among the lush, wooded hills.
But then the true nature of the bandits is revealed. With winter approaching and a vengeful company of mercenaries circling like wolves, Ree and Javani must uncover the secrets of this peaceful valley . or risk the ruin of it all. "Wragg's brand of fantasy deserves its own name: grassroots fantasy. Small in scale, large in heart, with underdog heroes you can't help but root for." Amber A.
