The Nine

The Wolf of Corwick Castle, Book 1

By: Terry Cloutier

Narrated by: Colin Wasmund

"Readers will have a hard time putting the book down even when life commitments demands they must. This is a gratifying story of trauma and vengeance, brilliantly told." (BookLife.com)

Nine men ride into the tiny farming village of Corwick one morning in early March. When they ride back out again, no one is left alive except for Hadrack, a helpless eight-year-old boy.

The crimes committed by those nine men will ultimately bring two conflicting religions and two nations to the brink of war. But for Hadrack, caught in the middle and unsure of his allegiances, all that matters is the vow that he made to his murdered family. Hadrack won’t be a helpless boy forever, and when he is ready, the nine will pay for what they did, regardless of the cost. This is his story.

Great book

I randomly started this. Cool story. Good build up. Good fight scenes. Ready for book 2.

Raw Gritty and Exciting

I started this series just from reading the reviews and I am glad that I did. I finished this in 2 days I couldn't stop listening never a dull moment narration was well done off to book 2.

Classic Story with grit

Very good book and narration. Although it’s fantasy, the author keeps it from getting “fantastical”. He keeps you your interest without getting bogged down. It gets graphic at times in a way that will make you wince, but he does a great job of not letting it overshadow the story. He also avoids putting rampant homosexuality throughout which is becoming popular in the current WOKE climate. Nice listen.

Amazing story line!!!

Amazing story line!!! Grabs you and never let's you go! You will race to the next book.

Wow! totally blew me away!

Pretty graphic and violent . But an excellent reading , narrator was awesome. Can't wait for the second one to come out.

Truly awful

This is really bad, grateful for the return policy. Don’t waste your credits, trust me.

Adult Only Violent Action Read- Trigger Warnings**

Parents- X rated -** Trigger Warnings **
Language- R- heavy in bad language
Violence- X- detailed in gore of fighting and murders (one example: face split with an ax and unable to pull it out, with lots of detail)
Sexual Content- X rated detail given of sexual assaults and other sexual content

DNF- Could Not Finish this one. Holy cow this is a VERY gruesome and graphic book. I was expecting violence based on the summary and I did make it through the first 2 hours but I should have stopped much earlier. The plot could be a good avenging angel story but the detail in the gore, the horrors of the treatment of the MC's family and village were simply too much, and then add the very graphic and violent sexual assault and murder of his sister, sexual assaults of the village women and girls.... I simply couldn't continue. This is absolutely for ADULTS ONLY but not one I would ever recommend.

Narrator- 3.5🌟 Did a great job with the voices and acting, I listened at 1.2x speed.

—I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Wanna be

This is a wanna be historical fiction. However it is a Fiction Historical. To bad that’s not a literary classification.
