Littleton, CO, August 31, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Quillstone Press announces the release of Feast of the Raven, the debut novel from Catherine Spader of Littleton, CO.
The critically acclaimed historical fantasy is set in Dark Ages Germany where a wolf demon is prowling the primeval forests. He is Wulfhedinn—scourge of the Christian Franks.

Torn between ancient magic and the new Christian order, Gerwulf seeks to redeem his mortal soul by serving the legendary Charlemagne in a savage Holy War against the pagan Saxons.
Trade reviews for Feast of the Raven
"Superbly written and impeccably edited...Spader is unquestionably a talented writer: Her writing style is fluid and at times lyrical, her description of northern Germany meticulous and fully immersive, and her knowledge of folklore extensive. But it's her characters that make this novel so readable. Interesting and emotionally compelling, they are certain to resonate with readers." – Blue Ink Review
"(Feast of the Raven)...strikes an appealing balance between historical fiction, sword and sorcery, and a noirish detective story, with quick pacing and just enough world building to lend weight to the plot. Sequels are planned, and they are welcome: the reader should be eager to see what other secrets Spader's vast medieval forests might yield. A compelling start to a historical fantasy series about a troubled warrior seeking redemption." – Kirkus Reviews
