Epic fantasy, book one of a trilogy — for readers who like deep worldbuilding, multiple POV, and plenty of intrigue.

A dying messenger arrives at Finn Olfram's doorstep. His final words—Vesperwilk...save. Vesperwilk, the mystical white wolves of legend. Can they save us, or do they need saving? Before breathing his last, he delivers a scroll for the Archmagus. It suggests a dark magus may be leeching the land of its wealth for purposes beyond simple greed.

Cora, the Archmagus's protégé, joins Finn in a journey north to uncover the truth behind the white wolves, and to prove her worth to the Order of Magi. Meanwhile Finn's uncle Rex and the ancient Archmagus follow the money, discovering along the way a tangle of strings connecting Royalty to the banking guild...but which is puppet and which is puppeteer?

The Vesperwilk and The Silver Door is a complete 109,000-word draft, book one of a planned trilogy. I'm looking for 8–12 readers who like this corner of the genre. No reciprocal read required — I'm after honest reactions. If you get bored, I want to know where.
