A wolf. A war.
A wolf. A destiny. And only one war to stand in his way.
When Convel leaves his birth pack, he didn’t expect to end up in a war against cougars. As he gathers his strength about him as well as new pack-mates, he is also confronted by Humans – once believed to be mostly dead.
He isn’t alone in his endeavours. He doesn’t know it, but Singer and her rag-tag ‘pack’ are racing towards him for the climax in his life so far. With Sage, the elderly lynx, helping to guide him, will he be successful or will the traitor in his life get what they want?
Excerpt
"That night, the two lay near each other, their eyes half closed as they watched the moon and stars emerge slowly into the sky. Both felt at peace with the other, their tails swished slightly at the time, as their eyelids dropped lower and lower, until, the moon high in the sky, they both slept, hind paws touching slightly, his tail slumped over hers, though hers still slightly swayed, even though she slept."
Professional Reviews
I felt like I was in the woods with them
I really enjoyed this book. It has been quite a long while since I have read a book which was written from the perspective of animals. I forgot how much I thoroughly enjoy it. The author has definitely done their research. She does not rely on words to relay their feelings and thought process, even. She understands the physical nature of them and it makes the story so much more... well, more. I enjoyed the story line and and felt a strong connection to the main characters. This is the first I have read by this author and it will not be the last
Exceptionally well written!
There is this `thing' about wolves that hits straight into my heart so I think I was blown away the minute I started to read this story. Dominique Goodall takes you to a journey that has written very vividly. The scenes are beautifully `painted' and you can easily imagine yourself into the wonderful world of Convel, a young male wolf, and grow with him while he's searching for his place in this world.
The Author obviously has a great respect for the nature and she knows what she's writing about. The story is written in a first person allowing you to `be' the wolf and live every joy, misery and discovery with it. Exceptionally well written and one of the rare books I would like to own as a paperback too!
Must Love Wolves!!!
I am impressed that anyone could write a story in such detail about animals in the wild. This was a very ambiguous endeavor and well executed. I enjoyed the relationships between these animals. After a while they started feeling human-like to me. The writing was very good and the story had some touching emotional moments.

If you enjoy being taken to the edge of your seat, yanked sideways, and left spinning through the sky on a speeding wyrm, rejoice. The gripping, white-knuckled conclusion of the Dragon Racers trilogy is here.
After finding a map on a grueling hunt, Vanx and his new companions decide to travel deep into the Bitterpeaks, where a fabled hoar witch's crystal palace supposedly sits hidden in a valley called Saint Elm's Deep.
