Roy van Waldenberger is two people. To those who know him, he's just Roy – a middle-aged man, tired of the limelight, and looking forward to retirement.
To everyone else, he's The Wolf of the North, celebrity wrestler and werewolf. One of the most fearsome fighters in the history of blood sports. It's a mask he wears, and he hates it.
This story is about Roy – not The Wolf.
It's about how he prepares for the last fight of his career. How he must stand against the only opponent he can't beat: his own inner beast. But it's also about how he must let go of a past that binds him, and of a love that was never meant to be.
If he can't, it'll be the end of not just him, but of everyone he still cares about.
Last Fight of the Old Hound is the first part in the Lost Dogs series. A deeply character-driven story in a modern-day fantasy world.
