A review by winterreader40
The Wolf by Leo Carew

4.0

The Anakim are a long lived war like people, the Sutherners are shorter lived and more artistic but they decide to pick a fight with the Anakim one day.  Roper is young and this is his first battle but when his father dies on the field he becomes the new Black Lord and he calls the first retreat in Anakim history.  Roper then spends the rest of the book trying to win back the esteem of his subjects for that and a couple other bad calls.  
I liked the characters in here and I also liked that while it's a war story the battles aren't overly described causing the pace of the story to remain consistent and interesting.
