This Werewolf Wednesday, it’s time for the cover reveal and synopsis for my most ambitious work to date, Wulfgard: Knightfall, the first novel in The Prophecy of the Six series! It is both Wulfgard’s main series and my work nearest to my heart. Cover art by my brother, Justin “Saber-Scorpion” Stebbins.
SYNOPSIS:
Rage.
Few can match the fury of Sir Tom Drake in battle – not even a Demon of Wrath. When Tom killed just such a fiend in single combat, a feat of which most mortals would never dream, he became the Demon Slayer. To the people of his beloved city of Illikon, Tom is a hero. But his city swears fealty to the Achaean Empire, and to them, he is just another knight.
Enter Sir Scaevius, Left Hand of the Emperor. With war raging against a barbarian alliance massing to the North, Scaevius takes command of Illikon’s armies and orders Tom on a suicide mission. Tom obeys, but not without protest. Soon, he finds himself fighting not only the barbarians, but his own superiors as well – and something else, something supernatural.
A monster is stalking him: a half man, half beast abomination from legend… a werewolf. It haunts his dreams and even his waking hours, and he starts to suffer blackouts, unsure what is real and what is nightmare. Hated by his superiors, hunted by beasts and assassins, Tom Drake must fight for his home, his life, and even his mind. The events that are about to unfold will change his life, and the world, forever.

A thrilling tale of adventure, dashing heroics, chilling horror, alluring mystery, and both personal duels and epic battles centered around memorable characters, Knightfall takes you to the edge of your seat in a wild ride set in a traditional dark age heroic fantasy world, where all myths are true – and monsters from legend seek to devour Men. Meet the sharply characterized cast, discover a new realm at once dark yet not without light and hope, and return to fantasy’s roots in the series The Prophecy of the Six and the world of Wulfgard.
WULFGARD: KNIGHTFALL will be available February 26 in ebook, paperback, and hardback, through Amazon, other online book retailers, and my website!
