Tales of the Plains

She's on the run. They're out to kill. But what happens when you catch a hunter? Ree is a woman with a violent past—a past she thought she'd left behind. After years of wandering, she and her niece Javani have finally built a small life for themselves at the edge of the known world. But sometimes the past refuses to stay there, and Ree's is about to catch up with her. This time, there will be blood. For the land is in turmoil and professional killers have arrived in their town looking for an older woman and child, setting off a desperate chase through deserts, mountains, and mines. Ree will have to discover her former self if she is to keep them both alive.

Full of David Wragg’s unique blend of humour, heart, and high stakes, ‘The Company of the Wolf’ is the epic next instalment in the ‘Tales of the Plains’ trilogy. Seeking a better life, Ree and Javani have travelled west into the mountains, and left their pasts – and their troubles – behind. But new places bring new problems, and when they stumble across a lone traveller under bandit attack, they make the mistake of lending a hand. Forced to take refuge in the traveller's village, they quickly find allies among the lush, wooded hills. But then the true nature of the bandits is revealed. With winter approaching and a vengeful company of mercenaries circling like wolves, Ree and Javani must uncover the secrets of this peaceful valley … or risk the ruin of it all.

The epic new finale to the unmissable Tales of the Plains trilogy from the master of modern fantasy, David Wragg. Rebellion's about the journey, not the destination. Ree is at war. Determined to free the townships from the Guild's larcenous rule, she can't take her eyes off victory. Not now, with the scent of blood in the air. Not for her consort, not even for her kid. Javani is ready for her own adventures. She's no longer a child and determined to blaze her own trail, even if that means leaving Ree behind. With rebellion stirring, the past Ree's been running from and the future Javani's striving for will collide. As tensions rise between mother and daughter, Guild and rebels – and with the fate of the Plains on the line – all that's certain is an explosive finale on the Iron Road Praise for the Tales of the Plain series: 'Gritty, sharp, and yet criminally funny!'
