For readers of Brent Weeks and fans of Netflix's Marco Polo comes a rich and inspired fantasy tale of warriors and nobles who must take the most desperate gamble of all: awaken allies more destructive than the hated king they hope to overthrow. Kate Elliott's new trilogy is an unmissable treat for epic fantasy lovers everywhere. An exiled captain returns to help the son of the king who died under his protection in this rich and multi-layered first book in an action-packed new series. Twenty two years have passed since Kellas, once Captain of the legendary Black Wolves, lost his King and with him his honor. With the King murdered and the Black Wolves disbanded, Kellas lives as an exile far from the palace he once guarded with his life. Until Marshal Dannarah, sister to the dead King, comes to him with a plea-rejoin the palace guard and save her nephew, King Jehosh, before he meets his father's fate. Combining the best of Shogun and Netflix's Marco Polo, Black Wolves is an unmissable treat for epic fantasy lovers everywhere.Describe Books As Black Wolves (Black Wolves #1)

I opened this book having no idea what it was about, only that it was a Kate Elliott epic fantasy. What I expect from a Kate Elliott book is interesting worldbuilding, interesting women as well as men, and a complex storyline with the kind of emotional
I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to reading book two. The only reason that I can't give this five stars is that it took about 150 pages for me to start loving the story, but it will still go on my favorite reads list because when it grabbed me it kept me wrapped up until the very last page.

This book was 780 pages in the ARC I poured into my eyeholes because Kate Elliott writes long books full of feelings and description of foods and the inner lives of women and excellent, complicated politics in shades of gray. And friends, I now wish I could unread ALL 780 PAGES so I could immediately pour them directly back in through a fresh reread. If you know how I read epic fantasy (with a notebook and pen and a page of notes for almost every character because they're so long/big I get
