The Wolves of Balliron is the first book in The Deathlance Trilogy, a dark, gritty fantasy tale. It’s a story inspired by fantasy role-playing games, books and movies, but conceived from a desire to create something a little more complex than the clear-cut good vs evil conflict of many tales and take many of the established themes and plot devices of the genre and turn them inside out, or at least put a different twist on them. At once a familiar and easy fit for the fantasy genre, it is also a story of grey areas, ambiguous morals and surprising developments, where nothing is at first what you might expect based on the conventions of the genre. Above all, it’s a story that will keep the reader turning the pages to find out what happens next!
