They came with fire and banners. By dusk, his father’s head rolled across the courtyard stones.

Ragnar Wolfsbane watched from his knees as the Empire executed his chieftain father before their conquered people.

In one brutal day, his homeland falls, his sister becomes a hostage, and everything he trained to protect burns to ash.

Now Ragnar faces an impossible choice: die with honour like his father, or live as the Empire’s tamed wolf.

Dragged to the enemy’s capital as a political pawn, he discovers a darker game—one where yesterday’s allies become tomorrow’s betrayers, and survival means learning to bite the hand that feeds you.

But when palace halls run red with blood and steel meets steel in midnight corridors, Ragnar begins to understand a dangerous truth: empires built on fear can crumble from within.

Sometimes the best revenge isn’t a sword in the night—it’s a patient wolf learning the shape of his enemy’s throat.

A brutal tale of vengeance and survival perfect for readers who crave the morally grey heroes of Joe Abercrombie and the intimate violence of John Gwynne.

The Fall of Wolfsbane launches the complete Ravenglass Legends series—where honour is a luxury and revenge requires sacrifice.

Adventure? Check. Magic? Check. Sarcasm? You bet.

After years of running down dead-end clues, the rogue Never has nearly given up his quest for answers; his blood is cursed and his true name a mystery, yet no library, no healer, and none who claim to know dark magics have ever been able to help.

Until he steals a map to the mysterious Amber Isle, which might just hold the answers he needs.

But Never isn’t the only one who wants the map – an old enemy, Commander Harstas, also seeks it, and Harstas craves revenge for the deaths of his men.

Forced to flee through a war zone, Never soon stumbles across a group of treasure hunters hoping to discover the wonders of the Amber Isle for themselves. But the deeper they venture into the Isle, the more deadly it grows.

Trapped between the greed of the treasure hunters, cunning traps in the Isle itself, the threat of Harstas’ fury and his own desperation to finally uncover answers, Never must find a way to unlock the Isle’s ancient secrets and escape – or perish without ever learning the truth.

A nameless rogue. A priceless treasure map. An abundance of bad choices.

The rogue Never wants two things—his blood curse lifted and to know his true name. He’s hunted down every relic and clue only to end up empty-handed. Until he hears of a treasure map to a sunken city full of potential answers.

Getting his hands on the map might prove to be Never’s most dangerous heist yet. When the city is invaded in the middle of his caper, Never trades stealth for brute force to save the map before it burns along with the city.

But his violence has consequences. As he makes an enemy of the invading commander, can Never survive long enough to secure the map as well as his getaway, or will he go down in flames?

Never: Prequel to The Amber Isle is the thrilling prequel novella to the epic fantasy series The Book of Never. If you love charming rogues, daring heists, and epic quests, steal a glance at Never: Prequel to The Amber Isle!
