Better known as the Queen of Wolves Enora, the woman that once held Aleric’s heart, has developed a campaign to summon the Dark Mother from her prison, the Veil. 

Determined to prevent this catastrophic event from taking place, Aleric must raise his own army and accept his destiny as the “Chosen One” of the vampyre’s, and lead his followers into battle to prevent Medhya, The Queen of Serpents from crossing over into the mortal world. 

This is the third installment of the Vampyricon series for Douglas Clegg and this reviewer must say that THE QUEEN OF WOLVES was a good read.  There were so many aspects of this story that were written so vividly that you actually get the impression that you are a bystander watching all the events of his story unfold.   

THE QUEEN OF WOLVES provides an array interesting characters that heighten and stimulate the storyline.  The vampyre Aleric, who does not deny his fondness for mortals, shows concern for his unborn child and willingly embraces his destiny.  Then there is Pythia, a ruthless and untrustworthy woman who surprisingly shows a softer side when she weeps for an old man.  And of course, the evil Medhya, who was exiled to a prison for her lust of power and immeasurable cruelty.   

Douglas Clegg is a fine storyteller and has breathed to life a wonderful fantasy.  Although this reviewer had not read the prior two books in this series, THE QUEEN OF WOLVES does stand well on its own.  It is however, this reviewer opinion that the prior two books be read (THE PRIEST OF BLOOD and THE LADY OF SERPENTS) in order to better appreciate the series.
