The Wolves of Time is William Horwood’s two-book series about wolves. Journeys to the Heartland (1995) and Seekers at the Wulfrock (1997) follow a wolf pack across Europe, combining adventure with mythology and the same empathetic animal perspective Horwood brought to his Duncton Chronicles.
Journeys to the Heartland introduces the pack as they travel toward a mythical homeland, weaving Norse and Celtic legend into the narrative. Seekers at the Wulfrock raises the stakes as the wolves face threats from both the natural world and human encroachment. Horwood writes wolves with the same detailed, character-driven approach he used for moles in the Duncton books, giving each animal a distinct personality.
Readers who enjoyed the Duncton Chronicles will find a similar blend of landscape, spirituality, and animal society here. The two books were published two years apart and tell a complete story, so there is no risk of being left on a cliffhanger.
