Maniye, child of both Wolf and Tiger clans, has been named Champion of her people. But they're unsure if she's an asset - or a threat. To buy time, she joins Prince Tecuman's warband of outcasts and heads south, to help him gain his crown. She wants to discover her true place in the world but instead heads into the jaws of a fierce new conflict. Civil war threatens as Tecuman and his twin sister battle for the throne, for only one can rule. Yet whoever triumphs will carry a heavy burden, as a great doom has been foreseen that will fall across their whole world.

Story
From the depths of the darkest myths, the soulless Plague People have returned. Their pale-walled camps obliterate villages, just as the terror they bring with them destroys minds. In their wake, nothing is left of the true people: not their places, not their ways. The Plague People will remake the world as though they had never been. The heroes and leaders of the true people - Maniye, Loud Thunder, Hesprec and Asman - will each fight the Plague People in their own ways.

Story
There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but never more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand of the Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal underworld, the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the spark that lights the conflagration? Despite the city's refugees, wanderers, murderers, madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always, will be the Anchorwood–that dark grove of trees, that primeval remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to strange and distant shores.

Story
Nobody remembers how the Causality War started. Really, there's no-one to remember and nothing for them to remember if there were; that's sort of the point. We were time warriors and we broke time. I was the one who ended it. Ended the fighting, tidied up the damage as much as I could. Then I came here, to the end of it all, and gave myself a mission: to never let it happen again.

Publisher's Summary
The first in the Echoes of the Fall series, The Tiger and the Wolf is an epic fantasy novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award and British Fantasy Award for Best Novel.
In the bleak northern crown of the world, war is coming . . .
Maniye’s father is the Wolf clan’s chieftain, but she’s an outcast. Her mother was queen of the Tiger and these tribes have been enemies for generations. Maniye also hides a deadly secret. All can shift into their clan’s animal form, but Maniye can take on tiger and wolf shapes. She refuses to disown half her soul so escapes, rescuing a prisoner of the Wolf clan in the process. The killer Broken Axe is set on their trail to drag them back for retribution.
The Wolf chieftain plots to rule the north, and controlling his daughter is crucial to his schemes. However, other tribes also prepare for strife. Strangers from the far south appear too, seeking allies in their own conflict. It’s a season for omens as priests foresee danger and a darkness falling across the land. Some say a great war is coming, overshadowing even Wolf ambitions. A time of testing and broken laws is near – but what spark will set the world ablaze?
Continue this sweeping coming-of-age fantasy with The Bear and the Serpent.

Good story but predictable.
That is kind of story you can see the end in the middle of it but still well written and entertaining.
Narration is very good, very clear and connecting. Sometimes reader is trying to imitate accent or have their own and, as I'm an ESL person, I have hard time following. Not the case here.

A strong story with good action and suspense!
I liked a number of things about this book: the idea of people literally transforming into animal totems was quite unique and was handled well. The main tribes of the wolves and the tigers are presented clearly and you can understand most characters' motivations depending on which tribe they come from. The main characters are well-defined and stay true to their intentions, with Maniye, the main character being the most deeply defined and described. She is a "mixed" race person with two totems - one wolf and one tiger. Since these are traditional enemies she is torn between these 2 worlds and her two "souls" are constantly fighting for supremacy within her.. The story has lots of action and tension (sometimes almost too much) and tracks her escape from her father's wolf clan and the many perils and adventures she encounters along her search for freedom. Often her path is crowded with unexpected twists and turns. The action starts quickly and rarely lets up but the plot is very involving and I found it hard to stop listening at times.
I have 1 small criticism with the story. Too often in fantasy stories there is a pattern where the hero's plans always work out very neatly and, even though things get tense, there is very little doubt that the hero will succeed. This book is almost the opposite of that pattern. Almost nothing that Maniye tries ever works out or ever for any lasting result. That happens regularly and without fail and you begin to wonder and worry if she is ever going to survive. But as she journeys further and encounters more characters and people very different from the wolf clan she grew up with, she gains experience and starts to understand the harsh world around her.
One other small criticism would be the narration. The narrator generally does a good job, but she sometimes has a hard time with the voices of male characters who are supposed to be very large and very tough individuals. The voices of all the characters are usually easy to distinguish but there are a few spots where you may wonder "who said that?"
Overall, this is a very good story and has some very unique features you may not find in other fantasy novels. I recommend it.
