Night of Wolves (The Paladins, #1)

by David Dalglish

"The humans are weak. Their skin is soft, and their minds dull from years of safety. We are the vicious. We are the destroyers. Come the full moon, when our goddess watches our victory, we will taste of their blood!"

Wolf-men, savage creatures given humanoid form in an ancient war, mass along the Gihon River. Led by their packleader Redclaw, they seek to cross the river and claim a land of their own, slaughtering those that would stand in their way. Two paladins, Jerico of the god Ashhur, and Darius of the god Karak, must helm the desperate defense against the invasion. Their friendship will be tested as their gods resume an unending war, and their very faiths call for the death of the other. Together, friend or foe, they must face Redclaw's horde.

Can faith remain when the gods call for blood?

[chymerra]

Jerico and Darius are paladins serving in a back water village near The Wedge. Not only do they serve different Gods (Jerico serves Ashhur and Darius serves Karak) but they are supposed to be enemies. But, to the surprise of both of them, they become friends.

The wolf-men who live in The Wedge long to cross the river and hunt outside The Wedge but when they do, they are hunted and killed. Redclaw, the self proclaimed Wolf King, is sick of being confined there and has come up with a plan.....united the packs in The Wedge and wage war on the village that stands in there way.

This was a pretty interesting book. It didn't lack for bloodshed, wolf men or violence.
