Publisher's Summary

It has been thousands of years since beast-kind were united under one banner. The empire encompasses most of the known world, driving out or enslaving the lesser races without mercy. In a state of constant war and conquest, they have perfected the art of battle.

For commoner wolf-kind Valian, being accepted and trained in a noble house's army was a dream come true. Without wealth or a family, it was his best shot at attaining honor and glory. Until fate intervened.

When, on his graduation day, Valian discovers he's descended from an ancient and long-thought-extinct line, everything changes. Now, he'll have to come to terms with his newfound strength while joining a world he has never known. If the threat of his fellow beast-kind wasn't enough, a new danger has awoken on the empire's eastern border.

If Valian doesn't rise to the occasion, more than just his own life may be lost.

Fans of Throne of Glass and Sword of Truth will enjoy the dynamic combination of magic and action in Evans’ new series, Alpha Rising. Dark Wolf's Awakening is the debut novel in the fast-paced epic fantasy series that introduces listeners to a savage world ruled by shape-shifters and the beast within.

Unique take on a fantasy world

Usually you see the beastmen in stories as side characters or enemies but this book gives a different perspective on what the creatures and their society would be like.

Great read/listen

Looking forward to listening to book 2.

This book started strong, no waiting countless chapters before the action began, the journey started right away. I enjoyed this story. The growth in some of the characters and the fact that it doesn’t end with everything wrapped up and him never losing a battle. Fights were fought, not always easily won.

A good listen

I enjoyed this book as a background activity. It is a power fantasy type story, the twists are pretty predictable and the info dumping felt a bit jarring and unnecessary in a story that otherwise flow really well, but it gets much much better towards the end when there’s more action
