Free (Kindle) Forest Wars by Graham Diamond [Realm Defense Quest Adventure Fantasy]

[ATDrake]

Forest Wars by British author Graham Diamond (ISFDB, Wikipedia) is a sidequel sequel to his Adventures of the Empire Princess quartet of adventure fantasy centred around a quest to restore a princess to her usurped throne, this story giving an alternate view of what was happening back in the intelligent animal-filled Haven as it comes under attack during the conflict and one local leader struggles to hold it together against internal plotting while another quests to seek outside help, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint.

This was originally published in 1995 by Lion Books, which appears to have been the author's self-publishing imprint. We've previously received as freebies both the individual volumes of the original quartet (published in the 1970s by Playboy Press) and the combined omnibus edition.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else Amazon sells worldwide, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program)

Description
A world of men and wolves and forest animals pitted against hordes of violent armies of wild, ferocious canines and vampire bat allies.

Forest Wars sees us reunited with the character Gwen, the mistress of The Haven, who holds sway over the realm whilst her husband Nigel is gone.

He must try and lead an expedition of wolves and men in an attempt to find an unknown path through the forest to new lands.

But the armies of The Mongrels and The Night Birds are amassing to wage war and bring the inhabitants of The Haven to their final destruction.

Nigel is running out of time to save his homeland. And there are also troubles closer to home.

The Council of 29, seemingly loyal to Gwen's rule, are secretly plotting her demise.

Only Nigel's successful mission to the new lands and triumphant return with whatever help he can find will stave off a coup that could destroy them all...
