A few years ago IFWG had the good fortune to acquire and release a wonderful novel by Craig Cormick, titled The Years of the Wolf.

New Acquisition: Final Three Books of the Warriors of Vhast series by Cary J Lenehan

IFWG Publishing has had a strong association with Cary Lenehan, exclusively with his long-running epic fantasy series, Warriors of Vhast.

This was and is his strength…
