Description

‘Multi-layered, compelling and intriguing, The Silver Wolf draws us into the murky underbelly of Europe’s Thirty Years’ War.’ - Minette Walters

Amidst the chaos of the Thirty Years’ War, Jack Fiskardo embarks upon a quest that will carry him inexorably from France to Amsterdam and then onto the battlefields of Germany. As he grows to manhood, will he be able to unravel the mystery of his father’s death? Or will his father’s killers find him first?

The Silver Wolf is a tale of secrets and treachery and the relentlessness of fate - but it is also a story of courage and compassion, of love and loyalty and ultimately of salvation too.

Book One of Fiskardo’s War marks the start of a series of unforgettable, epic historical fiction for readers of Ken Follett and Kate Mosse.

‘Harvey handles a huge cast of characters and a mountain of research with enviable confidence, and gives us a gift of a hero.’ - Tracy Chevalier
