Mark Hastings books, Podcast , , , , , , , , , , ,

In this episode, Mark talks about his upcoming book ‘The Shadow of The Wolf’ – the fifth book in his The Wolf and The Vampire book series, which focuses on the mother, daughter, wife, werewolf Olivia Hunter – which is due to be published February 2, 2026.

What’s it about?

Two Wolves Collide.

Sister and brother,
Olivia Hunter and Mark Mayweather –
separated from one another all their lives –
are once again drawn together;
however, their reunion does not unfold
as they hoped it would,
and as a result they find themselves
on opposite sides of a life and death struggle
that will expose who they are, what they are,
and what kind of a werewolf they both are.

And witness the reunification
and the reckoning of the relationship
of Olivia Hunter and Vega – The Vampire King.
Will their love survive the battle being fought
beneath The Shadow of The Wolf?
