The Adventures of Wrathgar (TAOW) is a massive series of novels (and 1 novella) by heroic fantasy author Charles Moffat. The series follows the adventures and escapades of barbarian archer Wrathgar and his friends/lovers/allies.
The series includes:
- The Assassin's Trail
- The Blizzard's Daughter
- The Coven's Wolves
- The Demon's Sacrifice
- The Exorcist's Dagger
- The Frost Giant's Tomb
Plus the novella "The Sunken Castle", which takes place between books 1 and 2.
As you may have guessed, Moffat's stated goal is to write a series of 26 novels (A to Z effectively), which will chronicle the story of Wrathgar from his teen years into old age. The word count of the finished 26 book series will easily exceed that of other large series like The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and dwarf smaller series like ASOIAF by George R. R. Martin.
The series features realistic portrayals of friendships and romantic relationships, and similar realism when it comes to battle, swordplay, archery, and world building. Charles Moffat, an archery instructor who prides himself on perfectionism, researches his topics heavily before writing them for the sake of realism, and his experience teaching archery for 15+ years is indicative of his knowledge on the subject matter.
Like GRRM however, Moffat has a nasty habit of killing characters. So be careful which characters you get attached to, because they could die in a later book.
