Description

When Lowell Sencha finds the strange girl lying as if dead on the riverbank, he is startled to find that she is like them: Waer. Human, but able to assume the form of a wolf. The Sencha family's small community has kept itself sequestered and unnoticed, free from persecution. The arrival of a fellow traveller - and a hunted one at that - threatens their very survival. Lowell and the mysterious stranger are among the few to escape. And now they must find their way to the city of Luthan where, she says, they will find people to help them bring down Daeman Leldh.

Reviews

'This book has broken my heart, collected my soul and has me falling in love with it!' Tilly and Her Books 'This novel has all the fast-paced action and enjoyment of the first Eragon novel, but it is far more layered and original.' Incredible Rambling Emily 'An astonishing debut...The writing is assured, the action is swift and the characters ring as true as Caddy's psychological insights.' West Australian 'A cracking adventure story...Brimming with excitement and incident.' Reading Time 'An accomplished debut...[A] great example of a well-crafted YA fantasy...The descriptions are lush and the prose is gorgeous.' Speculating on SpecFic 'This book does not let you go once you start...Incredibly addictive and fast paced.' Readers in Wonderland 'A new world of shape-shifters and a time-honored battle between good and evil come alive in Caddy's debut fantasy for teens.' Kirkus 'This is a tale of, among other things, righteous revenge, told in alienating chapters by the two main characters, whose perspectives convey the impact of the difficult circumstances on even the most gentle people...Love wins out in this well-constructed world, mapped literally and figuratively by the author.'
