About this ebook
Evan Milne, a former Military Intelligence officer marked by guilt and trauma, accepts a job managing a rewilding project on a remote Highland estate. The role is meant to be simple. Watch the wolves. Keep intruders out. Stay quiet.
The land has other ideas.
The estate’s master, Lord Denacuileagan, is elegant and unreadable. His servant, the Shepherd, is a brutal red-bearded presence with an unsettling history. Leanah, a woman tied to Evan’s past, returns with a beauty that hides something much older and more dangerous.
When bodies begin to surface in the woods, Evan realises he has not been hired for conservation work. He has been lured into a ritual written into the bones of the glen. Every figure around him is part of a design that reaches further back than memory. The wolves are only the beginning.
The Pack is a tense and atmospheric thriller that blends military trauma, folklore and horror into a relentless descent into madness and myth.

About the author
I am a retired Medical Practitioner with an interest in military history. I am married and live in the Scottish Borders. I previously wrote under the pen name Lucas Gnomite. I write for personal entertainment and a challenge - can I tell a story worth reading. The Vederius Ligustus stories relate to an imagined diary of a Roman soldier. The books in the series jump backwards and forwards in the soldiers life, as if randomly picking up diaries to read. The crime-sci-fi series try to imagine the gritty real world meeting the almost believable world of sci-fi.
