In 2024 and 2025, Holmgard Press published the first two anthologies of Lone Wolf short stories. I’m thrilled to have devised, pitched and edited this epic project, and am hopeful that this becomes an ongoing series!
Twenty-two brand-new short stories from the world of Lone Wolf.
Holmgard Press is proud to present two short story collections spanning Magnamund, from war-torn Holmgard to the dungeons of Amory; from the gambling houses of Tyso to the dangerous trails of Raider’s Road; from the frozen wastelands of Ixia to the tropical southern Isle of Zhor; and dozens more amazing locales besides.
Warriors battle fiercely against foes, both corporeal and supernatural. Slaves fight to break free from their chains. The bereft seek a reason to carry on. Scholars unearth forgotten knowledge that could reshape the world. Time and again, the ordinary folk of Magnamund find themselves thrust into peril and strife. They come from all walks of life, yet they stand against the same relentless evil.
In their desperate struggles against the darkest of times, with the Dark God Naar and his legions poised to unleash destruction upon the world, they will discover that sometimes only hope stands in the way of oblivion.
