Summary

The world grows colder with each passing year, the longer winters and ever-deepening snows awaking ancient fears within the Dengan Packstead, fears of invasion by armed and desperate nomads, attack by the witchlike and mysterious Silth, able to kill with their minds alone, and of the Grauken, that desperate time when intellect gives way to buried cannibalistic instinct, when meth feeds upon meth.

For Marika, a young pup of the Packstead, loyal to pack and family, times are dark indeed, for against these foes, the Packstead cannot prevail. But awakening within Marika is a power unmatched in all the world, a legendary power that may not just save her world, but allow her to grasp the stars themselves.

From Glen Cook, author of the Black Company and Dread Empire novels. The first audiobook in the Darkwar series.

I started this after hearing the short story 'Darkwar' written before but set after this series of the same name; check that one out too as it's from a different perspective. The world is really interesting and the culture and revelations during it add spice. The main character, Marika, is a big draw; although she seems almost destined for greatness like many other protagonists, she has a real crucible she goes through. Pay attention to the some little details; there's some things in this first novel that are picked up upon subtly in the subsequent ones.
