Secrets of the Wolves A Novel

A gripping adventure set in ancient times. The second wolf-narrated novel in The Wolf Chronicles brings wolves and humans togetherfor better or for worse. The rules of the Wide Valley wolves were clear: Never consort with humans; never kill a human unprovoked; never allow a mixed-blood wolf to live. But they were destined to be broken. Young Kaala of the Swift River pack shattered the rules of the valley and exposed the lies hidden beneath themand responsibility for the consequences rests with her alone. Now she must find a way for the wolves and humans of the Wide Valley to live in harmony. If they succeed, Kaala will finally prove herself worthy of her pack. But if she fails, the Greatwolves who rule wolf-kind will kill every wolf and human in the valley. Based on the scientific theory of wolf-human coevolution and set 14,000 years ago in a time when the cultures of wolves and humans were not so different, Secrets of the Wolves transports readers to a world where instincts can't always be trusted and cooperation between potential enemies could mean the difference between life and death.
