Rise of the Wolf

Wereworld, Book 1

By: Curtis Jobling

Narrated by: Ciaran Saward

A swashbuckling new series for Ranger's Apprentice fans!

Imagine a world ruled by Werelords—men and women who can shift at will into bears, lions, and serpents. When Drew suddenly discovers he's not only a werewolf but the long-lost heir to the murdered Wolf King's throne, he must use his wits and newfound powers to survive in a land suddenly full of enemies. Drew's the only one who can unite the kingdom in a massive uprising against its tyrant ruler, Leopold the Lion. But the king is hot on Drew's tail and won't rest until he's got the rebel Wolf's head.

Critic reviews

“Jobling’s debut initiates a sure-to-be-long series of Wereworld tales, pure fantasy adventure with plenty of horror in the mix…this will find broad appeal among lovers of adventure fantasy, especially those mourning the end of John Flanagan's Ranger’s Apprentice.”—Kirkus Reviews

“[A] rousingly gory heroic fantasy…there are plenty of brutal fights for action lovers, and the quest has some stirring moments. Give this series opener to fans of Flanagan’s Ranger’s Apprentice series.”—Booklist

“In this thrilling middle-grade debut, first in the Wereworld series, British author/illustrator Jobling (the designer of the Bob the Builder TV series) creates a memorable new setting in which were-creatures rule…a thoroughly enjoyable adventure that makes particularly inventive use of its shape-shifter elements and mythology.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

I’ve always loved this series

Feels similar to game of thrones in atmosphere!
I read these books in school and when I saw an audiobook had come out for it you have no idea how exited I was.
I’ve been meaning to re-read and finally finish this series and this audiobook put me right back into it!
The narrator does an amazing job and I can only hope that they do the whole series :)

Great book and awesome narrator

Great book, never a dull moment. Plot was well established and defined. I want more of this world and the characters. The narrator used so many different accents and pitch to make you feel there was more than one person performing. Great audible book.
