An exiled captain returns to help the son of the king who died under his protection in this rich and multi-layered first book in an action-packed new series. Twenty two years have passed since Kellas, once Captain of the legendary Black Wolves, lost his King and with him his honor. With the King murdered and the Black Wolves disbanded, Kellas lives as an exile far from the palace he once guarded with his life. Until Marshal Dannarah, sister to the dead King, comes to him with a plea-rejoin the palace guard and save her nephew, King Jehosh, before he meets his father's fate. Combining the best of Shogun and Netflix's Marco Polo, Black Wolves is an unmissable treat for epic fantasy lovers everywhere.

Commentary Containing Books Black Wolves (Black Wolves #1)

For most of the book I loved it, the characters and the world were rich... quite a few times I was on the edge of my seat. One scene in particular had me raging at one of the characters.The book started dragging for me in the third (?) act... and never really picked up again. It wasn't boring or dull but it wasn't "good" either.What I liked/loved:SaraiKellasDannarahthe Reeves and EaglesDifferent creatures/cultures/peoples of the HundredWhat bothered me/didn't like:The time jump from when Kellas

This book is a murder mystery at the heart of a political thriller wrapped up in an epic fantasy setting. It's been decades since Commander Anji saved the Hundred from the internal conflict that ravaged it's people by killing the demons responsible and bringing the chaotic political factions to heel under his strong hand. Now his grandson is king and conflict is again brewing; the first stirrings of a succession war are beginning to surface in the palace, and there is unrest in the population as

Copy provided by publisherIf Im not certain Ill want to read a book, I jump right into reviews, even go for spoilers if Im extra unsure. But if I know Im going to read a book, I avoid all mentions except pub date.So it was with Black Wolves. I opened this book having no idea what it was about, only that it was a Kate Elliott epic fantasy. What I expect from a Kate Elliott book is interesting worldbuilding, interesting women as well as men, and a complex storyline with the kind of emotional

Black Wolves was a fantasy focused on political intrigue, mystery, and a bit of action. It was a character driven story but both the plot and the worldbuilding had plenty of depth to them. I'd not say it was a fast paced book but it had enough happening that the story held my interest! This actually reminded me a lot of better version of Sam Hawke's City of Lies. It had a similar feel and dealt with a lot of the same themes and topics. Both had a heavy focus on intrigue and issues caused by both

Review from The Speculative Herald: http://www.speculativeherald.com/2015...Black Wolves may be a daunting read as it is a massive book and I know sometimes readers are deterred by that. The thing is, though, it is also a massively impressive book. Scaling it down would be a disservice to the story and quite honestly the story deserves to be read. I have not formulated my best of the year list, but I can tell you this book will appear on it as it is easily one of the best epic fantasies I have

Puts the epic in epic fantasy! I could have used more action and less court intrigue, but otherwise this world is awesome, the characters are diverse and lovely, and the magic is fascinating. Can't wait to find out what happens next!

One of the better epic fantasies you'll read this year. Also, the protagonists are senior citizens, which is fantastically awesome.
