Wolfking (Wolfking Series Book 1)

The Apocalypse has come – and it has left the World in ruins…



‘A smashing writer who really knows how to weave a tale…’ Booksellers’ Choice



Following the terror of the Apocalypse, life in the community of Tugaim, Ireland is simple – but controlled.



Families eke out their meagre livings from the blasted earth, carefully avoiding the forbidden patches of land that still shine with eerie light…



Joanna Grady is happy in this community, and has even met Flynn, whom she loves and hopes to be matched to. They dream of Ancient Ireland, a land of magic, royalty and terrible foes.



But bloodlines are carefully examined, and matches between families are only made to promote healthy breeding – preventing Mutant spawn.



Suddenly, Joanna’s father breaks the news that she has been matched to Muldooney, a pig farmer. She is devastated, but can’t fight what is happening.



She cannot bear it.



She flees – into the forbidden place, the Glowing Lands. But little does she know that the Forbidden Lands contain a rip in the Time Curtain, a portal to the past – to Ancient Ireland.



Now Joanna finds herself swept up in the life and myth of Cormac mac Airt, the Wolfking, as he fights to regain his throne and justice to ancient Tara.



Will Flynn pursue her through the Time Curtain?



Can they fight to restore right to Tara?



Wolfking is an epic fantasy adventure and the first of a gripping quartet of novels that invoke Celtic tones of Ancient Ireland. Join with Joanna as she learns of her ancient heritage to fight against evil and tyranny and bring balance and honor back to Ancient Ireland. It was originally published under the pen name Bridget Wood.
