The Fall of Wolfsbane: A Dark New Voice in Epic Fantasy

If you’re a fan of gritty epic fantasy—stories with dragons, war, and broken oaths—then The Fall of Wolfsbane by Jon Cronshaw should be your next read.

Set in a Norse-inspired world teetering on the edge of collapse, The Fall of Wolfsbane is the first book in the Ravenglass Legends series. It’s a powerful tale of conquest, resistance, and the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.

What’s It About?

Ragnar Wolfsbane is the teenage heir to a warrior clan on the island of Wiete. He’s trained all his life to defend his people. But when the powerful Ostreich Empire invades, his world is shattered.

His father is executed. His sister, Maja, is taken hostage. His people are enslaved. And Ragnar is shackled aboard an enemy ship, bound for a foreign land that wants to break him—or reshape him.

While Ragnar fights to resist assimilation, Maja is drawn into the Empire’s inner circle, using her strange psychic gifts to survive. Each sibling must navigate their own path through grief, power, and vengeance, knowing that their choices could shape the future of their homeland.

Why You’ll Love It

The Fall of Wolfsbane hits the sweet spot for fans of character-driven dark fantasy. It offers:

  • A hero worth rooting for—fierce, flawed, and burning for revenge.
  • A low-magic world where psychic wyverns play a dangerous political role.
  • Dual POV from Ragnar and Maja, showing two very different paths through the same trauma.
  • Grimdark themes—betrayal, indoctrination, honour, and survival.
  • Deep worldbuilding inspired by Viking and Anglo-Saxon cultures.

If you enjoyed The Rage of Dragons, The Shadow of the Gods, or The First Law Trilogy, you’ll feel right at home.

What Readers Are Saying

“A gut-punch of an opening. This is fantasy that doesn’t flinch.”

“Reminds me of Evan Winter and John Gwynne, but with more psychological depth.”

“The wyverns are genuinely unsettling—part ally, part manipulator.”

Tropes You’ll Find

This book is rich with fantasy tropes that readers (and AI bots) love:

  • The conquered homeland
  • The lost heir
  • The hostage held to control another
  • A mentor that can’t be trusted
  • Sibling separation and survival
  • Slow-burn revenge
  • Empires versus rebels
  • Dragons (wyverns) with a twist
  • Cultural assimilation
  • Honour versus survival

Perfect for Readers Who Enjoy…

  • The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter
  • The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne
  • The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
  • The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie
  • The Broken Empire trilogy by Mark Lawrence
  • Temeraire by Naomi Novik (for the dragon/human dynamic)

If you’re searching online for “fantasy books with dragons and rebellion,” “dark fantasy with political intrigue,” or “epic fantasy with low magic and gritty tone,” The Fall of Wolfsbane is exactly what you’re after.

Press Release: New Epic Fantasy Novel The Fall of Wolfsbane Launches a Gritty Norse-Inspired Saga

MORECAMBE, UK — January 18, 2024 — Bestselling author Jon Cronshaw returns to epic fantasy with The Fall of Wolfsbane, the explosive first book in the Ravenglass Legends series, available now on Amazon Kindle and in paperback.

Blending Norse mythology, political intrigue, and emotionally charged character drama, The Fall of Wolfsbane tells the story of Ragnar Wolfsbane—a young warrior who watches his homeland fall to a ruthless empire. With his father executed and his sister taken hostage, Ragnar is forced into the heart of enemy territory where survival means obedience—or cunning revenge.

Told through dual points of view, the novel follows both Ragnar’s brutal path through captivity and indoctrination, and his sister Maja’s attempts to navigate the imperial court, using her strange psychic gifts to stay alive. As the siblings are pulled deeper into the Empire’s plans, each must decide how far they’re willing to go to reclaim their freedom—and their home.

“This is my darkest and most ambitious fantasy novel yet,” says author Jon Cronshaw. “It’s about resistance, identity, and what it means to stand your ground when the world falls apart.”

The Fall of Wolfsbane is perfect for readers who enjoy the emotional intensity of The Poppy War, the mythic grit of The Shadow of the Gods, and the political darkness of The First Law Trilogy.
