Wolf Soldier is a teens/ YA novel
The fate of the Dragon Lands are at play
The knights of the Lightraider Order disappeared nearly two generations past. Now, the Keledan have withdrawn behind their barriers, and the Dragon Lands of bordering Tanelethar are overrun with dark oppression. The people are living in disobedience to the Rescuer who freed them long ago.
A shepherd boy, Connor Enarian, and four young initiates rekindle the fires of the Lightraider Order in the hope of striking out across the mountains into Tanelethar to destroy a portal and stop an impending invasion.
Once in the Dragon Lands, Connor learns that the key to success lies with a missing Lightraider spy and his lifelong companion, a talking silver wolf. Can Connor and his friends find the spy before the portal grows too large to destroy? Or will a local young woman—or Connor’s own family history—betray them?
The dangers and secrets of Tanelethar test both trust and loyalty, and to save his homeland, Connor may have to sacrifice his innermost dreams.
I don’t usually read from the Teen/YA section but I’ve read James’ spy and mystery books so I knew he was a talented writer. I also like his mission of bringing role playing games for Christians to the market. Wolf Soldier is the first book in the Lightraider Academy series in support of this Lightraiders RPG.
I have to say even though the book is geared to a much younger demographic than me, I really liked it. James has a talent for storytelling. Danger seems to be around every corner for young Connor and Hannibal weaves the danger with the need to rely on the unseen one, the helper without it being to dangerous and too preachy. He also sprinkles in a little goblin humor.
If you have a teen or a young adult who has a hard time finding books that will keep them entertained without rotting their Spirit, Wolf Soldier would be an excellent choice to get them on their reading journey.
