Harry Turtledove

An action-packed pair of fantasy adventures from the Hugo Award–winning and New York Times–bestselling author.

Before his renown as “the standard bearer for alternate history” (USA Today), New York Times–bestselling and Hugo Award–winning author Harry Turtledove’s first published series told of the heroic exploits of Gerin the Fox as he battled dark magic in the Empire of Elabon.

Werenight: The second son of the Baron of Fox Keep, young Gerin never wanted title or responsibility, but both were thrust upon him when his father and brother were ambushed and slain by enemy Trokmê. Now the Trokmê are returning, led by a powerful new wizard, and Gerin’s only chance for victory is to find a mage who can battle the sorcerer and fight the coming of the Werenight, when men will become monsters …

Prince of the North: Peace has been fragile since the terrible Werenight, when the light of four moons transformed men into beasts. The people look to Gerin the Fox to stand firm against encroaching chaos and civil war. But things are about to get much worse. When an earthquake tears their land open, undoing an ancient warding spell and unleashing a legion of ravaging beasts from the dark underground, Gerin must defend his realm from an onslaught of monsters …

Gerin the Fox

Two Gerin the Fox Novels: Werenight and Prince of the North

A young, untried Northern baron must somehow defend his vulnerable realm from an invading force strengthened by darkest magic in this magnificent fantasy adventure from a master world builder

 The second son of the Baron of Fox Keep, Gerin never wanted title or responsibility, but both were thrust on him when his father and brother were ambushed and slain by enemy Trokmê raiders. Leaving behind the urban bustle of Cassat and his studies in philosophy and magic, Gerin the Fox returned home to accept his place among the other barons of the Northern marches—a region secluded from the rest of the Empire of Elabon. But now word is spreading that the Trokmê are returning, led by a powerful new wizard whose magic makes them unstoppable. Keeping his lands and people safe may prove beyond the young lord’s capabilities. Only one choice remains for the Fox: He must set out into the wild and make his way back to the city—for only there can he hope to find a new form of sorcery with which to fight the coming of the Werenight, when men will become monsters.
 
 Before Hugo Award winner Harry Turtledove became known far and wide as the king of alternate history, he introduced himself to the world with Werenight, carrying readers into a remarkable realm of war and magic. Filling his fantasy adventure with a colorful cast of unforgettable characters, Turtledove has created a fantastic reality as rich, involving, and imaginative as the histories he later so ingeniously altered.

Werenight

A great leader rises when forced to defend his troubled lands against an onslaught of monsters in the second book of this remarkable fantasy series featuring Gerin the Fox

Peace in the North has been fragile and tentative in the five years since the terrible Werenight, when the light of four full moons transformed men into beasts. Now cut off completely from the Elabon Empire, the land is in violent dispute, squabbled over by minor barons hungry for greater power. Gerin the Fox is one of the few who stand firm against the encroaching chaos, but his own life has been violently shaken, first by a heartless betrayal and then by the kidnapping of his young son. Having angered a vengeful deity, he cannot look to the gods for support. Yet it is Gerin to whom the people must turn when an earthquake tears their land open, undoing an ancient warding spell and releasing a host of ravaging beasts from the dark underground.

The stunning sequel to Werenight, Hugo Award–winning author Harry Turtledove’s Prince of the North is a magnificent work of fantasy fiction. The master builder of wondrous worlds and alternate histories works his literary sorcery once again in this richly imagined tale of war, magic, gods, and monsters.
