Blending Slavic mythology and history into a gripping tale of war, magic, sacrifice, and family, John Gwynne has written the perfect book for our Fellowship members, and we knew instantly that we had to choose this one as our November 2026 pick.
The Wolves of War by John Gwynne delivers everything we love about epic fantasy storytelling; ancient magic, brutal battles, unforgettable heroes and legendary creatures.
The Clans once lived freely, following their gods and traditions, until northern invaders swept across their lands in a tide of blood and fire. Now conquered and living beneath the shadow of war, the people of the Clans face an uncertain future. At the heart of the story is Ivan, a father whose greatest concern is keeping his family safe, particularly his daughter Halia.
Halia has been trapped in her own body since birth, but when night falls she dreams of running with wolves and speaking to the mysterious fae creatures of the forest. While others believe she is cursed, there is something extraordinary awakening within her. As two princes turn against one another, an iron-toothed witch emerges from the shadows and powerful nations prepare for war, Halia may possess the only magic capable of saving those she loves.
What makes The Wolves of War the perfect choice for Fellowship is the way John Gwynne balances the enormous scale of an epic fantasy with authentic and intricately drawn characters. There are battles, monsters, ancient gods and dark magic, but beneath all of this is a story about what we are willing to sacrifice for the people we love and how courage can be found in the most unexpected places.
For readers who already know John Gwynne’s work, The Wolves of War showcases everything that has made him such a beloved name in modern fantasy: cinematic action, fiercely loyal characters, immersive worlds and a genuine emotional investment in the people caught within them.
For anyone discovering him for the first time, it is an extraordinary introduction to a writer who understands that the greatest fantasy stories are not simply about the wars being fought, but about the people fighting to protect what matters most.
For Fellowship members, we’re delighted to present The Wolves of War as our November exclusive. Signed and numbered by John Gwynne, with a bespoke blue version of the dustjacket, exclusive foil on the boards, digitally sprayed edges and exclusive endpapers; this highly limited edition has been created especially for our members and is a fitting addition to a collection celebrating some of the most exciting voices in modern fantasy.
With its ancient magic, heroic sacrifice and unforgettable characters, this is an edition we know will have a special place on the shelves of John Gwynne fans and fantasy collectors alike.
