The Wolf King
Synopsis
Princess Aurora is days from a marriage arranged to secure peace with a cruel neighbouring lord when she spares the life of a young werewolf forced to fight for the court's entertainment. That act draws the attention of Callum, an alpha from the rival wolf clans of the Northlands, who kidnaps her that same night, believing she can be traded for a relic that could win his people's war against humankind.
Dragged into the wild country beyond the border, Aurora finds herself among a people she was raised to fear and hate. As the days pass she learns the wolves are not the monsters of her childhood stories, and Callum sees that the danger to Aurora comes as much from his own allies as from hers. A forbidden attraction grows between them even as clan politics, a missing relic, and the ambitions of Callum's brother James, the reigning Wolf King, threaten to tear them apart.
The first book in Lauren Palphreyman's bestselling Wolf King trilogy, followed by The Night Prince and The Wolf Queen.
