Synopsis

Daine Salmalin has always been different — able to hear the voices of animals and feel their magic. When a message arrives from her old home at Dunlath, she learns that the wolves there are under threat from encroaching humans who do not respect the balance between man and nature. Joined by her mentor Numair, Daine sets out to help protect the wolf pack and uncover the true danger lurking in the valley — a plot far larger than simple land disputes.
