Leo Carew is a 26-year-old Cambridge graduate of Biological Anthropology, currently studying medicine. Apart from writing, his real passion is exploration, which led him to spend a year living in a tent in the High Arctic, where he trained and worked as an Arctic guide. The Wolf is his first novel.
The Wolf is [a] ferocious epic fantasy debut . . . You don't want to miss this one -- Ardi Alspach * B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy * A confident first novel . . . It's a cliche to compare up-and-coming authors with David Gemmell or George RR Martin. So instead let's imagine this shouldering in between James Abbott's The Never King and Joe Abercrombie's Half a King series -- Dave Bradley * SFX magazine * The characters are memorable and entertaining . . . and this is a striking debut * SciFiNow * As bleak and brutal as the northern snows, a new voice in epic fantasy -- Gareth L. Powell An action-packed and blood-splattered tour de force . . . Carew is the real deal - an exciting new voice in fantasy * Kirkus Reviews * When inexperienced young Roper unexpectedly inherits the throne he quickly realises his reign is going to be memorable only for its brevity unless he can he can recruit a handful of crafty outsiders to teach him how to stay alive. Full of dark conspiracies, larger-than-life characters, and tense battles, Leo Carew has created a rousing cross between The Magnificent Seven and Game of Thrones -- Paul Hoffman, author of The Left Hand of God The Wolf is a work of extraordinary imagination and perhaps the most captivating first novel I've ever read * Michael Dobbs, author of House of Cards * Gripping and ambitious . . . twisty in its political maneuverings, gritty in its battle descriptions, and rich with a sense of heroism and glory * Publishers Weekly * Imagine Game of Thrones rewritten by John le Carre . . . A marvellously accomplished debut * Guardian * The next George RR Martin * Mail on Sunday *
