Waylander II: In the Realm of the Wolf, published in 1992, is a novel in the Drenai series of British fantasy writer David Gemmell. While the novels of the series are all based in the same universe, most of them can not be described as direct sequels with some consecutive installments having as much as 1000 years between them. With Waylander II, Gemmell changes this by taking up the story from his earlier novel Waylander. Some ten years have passed since the conclusion of the Vagrian Wars. Waylander the Slayer, the legendary warrior, has disappeared, but a contract has been put out on his life. A secret society of trained assassins dispatches its human hounds on his trail, and other dark forces are at work.

“Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality—where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.”

“Return to her? and fifty men dismissed?
No, rather I abjure all roofs, and choose
To wage against the enmity o’ th’ air,
To be a comrade with the wolf and owl—
Necessity’s sharp pinch.”
