Product Description
The Vikings are laying siege to Paris. As the houses on the banks of the Seine burn a debate rages in the Cathedral on the walled island of the city proper. The situation is hopeless. The Vikings want the Count's sister, in return they will spare the rest of the city. Can the Count really have ambitions to be Emperor of the Franks if he doesn't do everything he can to save his people? Can he call himself a man if he doesn't do everything he can to save his sister? His conscience demands one thing, the demands of state another. The Count and the church are relying on the living saint, the blind and crippled Jehan of St Germain, to enlist the aid of God and resolve the situation for them. But the Vikings have their own gods. And outside their camp a terrifying brother and sister, priests of Odin, have their own agenda. An agenda of darkness and madness. And in the shadows a wolfman lurks. M.D. Lachlan's stunning epic of mad Gods, Vikings and the myth of Fenrir, the wolf destined to kill Odin at Ragnarok, powers forward into new territories of bloody horror, unlikely heroism, dangerous religion and breathtaking action.

Fenrir is an epic second novel in the Wolfsangel series and whilst most authors pick up from where the original left off, MD keeps on going and picks the series up a hundred years later. Which isn't a bad thing as it allows a larger look at the events that happened before and how they affected this current future in this Fantasy cross Historical Fiction title. Add to this a wonderful sense and pace of a thriller and the reader really has a special treat in store.
All in the prose is excellent, the pace fast and above all else it's a story of love, of fate and of adventure. It's well written, the characters are outstanding and when blended with a pretty unique authorly voice and some magical sleight of hand, this title is, for my money, even more thrilling than the original. It really will be interesting to see what MD turns up with for the next part in this series and I suspect that some of the hidden unfinished threads will leave a nasty surprise or two for the future "heroes" to discover at their peril.

The second novel in the series of books contains a lot of references to the original but carries on a considerable time later.
I enjoyed the first book as it was a great idea, it grew in complexity and the characters were well written. The second book is fantastic with better characters and (maybe because I had a better idea where it might go) the plot seemed much stronger (which isn't to take anything away from the original by the way).
If you like dark fantasy, and it is dark mind, then give this a go.

Fenrir is a fantastic journey. The beginning is humble enough (or as humble as a city under siege can be) and introduces each of the characters. As the book goes along we learn more about them, and the more we learn, the more we realise how large of a part they are to play. Those who have read the previous book, Wolfsangel, will find themselves trying to find links between the books, characters who remind them of people in the first book.
One thing that truly sets this book apart from other fantasy books is the imagery, and the skill with which MD Lachlan weaves it. With a simple sentence, a full image appears in your mind, landscapes form in the blink of an eye and characters become well-defined. No re-description is necessary as the images remain locked in your mind throughout the whole book. Any changes are made with a few choice words.
Praise of Fenrir wouldn't be complete without mentioning the storyline. You will be hooked from beginning to end, no two ways about it. There is a large reluctance to put the book down as each passage tempts you into reading on, finding out what happens next. The many characters get their own interpretation of the story from their unique angles. Their personal views on events seem to differ greatly, but each adds their own contribution to the flow of the story. It isn't long before you learn the personality of each character in turn, but each have their own surprises beyond what is laid before you.
I will finish by saying that Fenrir is a unique read and stands out from the other fantasy books out there. A brutal, exciting and fast-paced tale of love, excitement and adventure, all told with an amazing feel of realism. Each event forms so easily and fluidly in your mind that it sometimes feels like a memory of something you already know. This epic tale deserves to be read, as does the predecessor, Wolfsangel.
