Ferox, the Wolf of Wall: Buddys Tales: Book 4

AT THE EDGE OF THE EMPIRE, A DARKNESS IS HUNGRY. AT THE EDGE OF HIS MIND, A SOLDIER IS BREAKING. Haunted by a past he can't escape, Jay is walking away from it all with only his loyal husky, Buddy, for company. But Buddy is no ordinary dog. He is a living conduit to history, and he has a lesson to teach. Their journey across the wilds of Dartmoor becomes a walk through time itself. Jay is thrust into the mind of General Maximus Lupinus Rabidus-a brutal Roman commander forged in childhood trauma and bound to Ferox, a giant war-dog with the soul of a wolf. Together, they hold the crumbling fort of Vercovicium against an enemy no sword can pierce: the Hungry Fog. This green-tinged mist doesn't kill. It devours memory, identity, and hope. As the ground forgets its own shape and men forget their own names, Rabidus's frozen fury is the last brittle wall against oblivion. Meanwhile, from the northern forests, the fierce Pictish scout Brùideil makes a fateful, reckless move. She steals a void-stone-an ancient anchor of nothingness-and buries it in the heart of the Roman fort, hoping to destroy her enemies. Instead, she rings a dinner bell for the Fog. As past and present collide on a windswept cairn, Jay discovers a profound and terrible truth. The real battle isn't against the Fog or the past. It's for the fragile, defiant spark of connection that makes life worth remembering. To save both timelines, a Roman boy and a Pictish girl must undertake a suicidal mission, and a broken man must learn that love is not a weakness, but the only weapon strong enough to fight the void. FEROX THE WOLF OF THE WALL is a genre-defying odyssey of heart-stopping historical adventure, visceral horror, and redemptive hope. It's a story about the anchors we place in the dark, the bonds that hold us fast, and the radical act of choosing to love, even when the world is trying to make you forget how.
