Goodreads
A feral child named Wolf is being raised by wolves deep in the forest until he is suddenly whisked away to a subterranean netherworld by the Tuatha De Danann; a strange and elusive race. In this otherworldly realm, where mortal time moves imperceptibly quickly, these ‘ever-living ones’ raise and train the boy for their own ends; returning a formidable stealth-warrior, back to the world of men.
In Wolf’s absence, Ireland has become a more dangerous place, as the Vikings strive to gain control of the country. But a young southern commander called Brian Boru and his enigmatic counsellor, Amergen, mean to thwart the Vikings’ plans. But they desperately need Wolf’s particular set of skills for a perilous mission deep into enemy territory. And so they set a trap to ensnare Wolf and his daring band of Rangers.
About Don Baldwin
Don lives in Ireland, where he feels a deep sense of connection to the land. He is married and a father of two, a daughter and a son. Don has been writing for over forty years, and he has a healthy portfolio; mostly feature articles and Short Stories (two of which were prize winners –‘The Sea-maid’ and ‘Deep Thoughts’; a result of his deep fascination with the sea). He is also a regular contributor to several Irish national magazines, including ‘Ireland’s Own’, ‘Ireland’s Eye’ ‘The Irish Mountain Log’ and ‘Subsea’, supplying them all with a variety of articles on Vikings, mermaids, wildlife, mountains and history: while all four magazines have also published his short stories. Don also regularly publishes feature articles in both of his local newspapers, ‘The Dundalk Democrat’ and ‘The Argus’.
Don is an avid hill-walker and scuba diver, and he draws great inspiration from both the mountains and the sea, as, he notes, did the poet William Wordsworth (1807) “Two voices are there; One is of the Sea, One of the Mountains; Each a mighty Voice...” Don is also an ‘Advanced Adventure Sport Instructor’, reflecting his passion for outdoor adventure activities.
Besides his background in construction, Don has also completed several courses in English, Creative Writing, Short Story Writing and Freelance Journalism. He has also served for three years in the Irish Permanent Defence Forces, serving with the 27th Battalion along the Irish Border. Don also did a six month peace-keeping tour of duty with the 46th Irish Battalion with the U.N., in the troubled lands of south Lebanon.
Don writes full-time now, having closed down his construction business and taken early retirement; so that he could finally focus on what has always been his real passion, writing!
‘Wolf’s Quest’, is Don’s first Novel.
