A fierce, forest-scented adventure about finding your pack and fighting for the wild things that cannot fight for themselves.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like stepping into a dense, ancient forest where every shadow holds a watching eye. It is an earthy, fiercely empathetic adventure that moves at a brisk, determined pace, pulling you into a world where the line between human and animal blurs. The narrative is steeped in a deep reverence for nature, making the scent of pine needles and the chill of mountain air practically leap off the page. It is less about the mechanics of magic and more about the emotional weight of stewardship, belonging, and finding your true pack. The prose is straightforward but rich with sensory detail, perfectly suited for readers who crave stories of young, capable heroines coming into their own power. It will deeply satisfy anyone who has ever wished they could speak to the animals and fight back against the destruction of the wild.

About the book
When humans start cutting down trees and digging holes in peaceful Dunlath Valley, the wolves know that something is wrong. They send a messenger to the only human who will listen -- Daine, a fourteen-year-old girl with the unpredictable power of wild magic. Daine and her closest companions heed the wolves' cry for help. But the challenge they are about to face in the valley is greater than they can possibly imagine.
