The Coffee Pot Book Club Presents "Raid of the Wolves" by Donovan Cook


Please make welcome to the Tavern guest author Donovan Cook! We're celebrating his new historical novel, Raid of the Wolves (Ormstunga Saga, Book 2). I'm eager to find out more, so grab a cup of ale and let's take a peek into Donovan's intriguing story...


The only thing that kept him going were the voices of his ancestors, screaming for blood...


Ulf and his shield brothers are sent on a raid against an old enemy — Francia, a mighty kingdom to the south, now ravaged by civil war. During the perilous sea voyage, Ulf can only focus on one thing. He demands closure: to find the man who slaughtered his family — Griml.


A hidden enemy stalks Ulf and his warriors through Francia, striking mercilessly when they least expect it. Soon the hunters become the hunted. The Norse warriors must make the ultimate choice between defying the king or angering the gods. Both could end in fury.


But there is another threat lurking in the shadows. One that Ulf could never anticipate.


Ulf is not the only one who wants vengeance.

About the Author


Even as a young child, Donovan loved reading stories about Vikings and other medieval warriors fighting to defend their homeland or raiding in distant lands. He would often be found running around outside with nothing other than a wooden sword and his imagination.


Now older, he spends his time writing about them. His novels come from his fascination with the Viking world and Norse Mythology and he hopes that you will enjoy exploring this world as much as he did writing about it.


Born in South Africa but raised in England, Donovan currently lives in Moscow, Russia with his wife and their French Bulldog, where he works as an English tutor. When he is not teaching or writing, he can be found reading, watching rugby, or working on DIY projects. Being born in South Africa, he is a massive Springboks fan and never misses a match.
