Book Description

From Publishers Weekly
The debut of former Jossey-Bass senior editor Hayes is a crackling foray
into a dangerous past, the first of a projected trilogy. On Wide Valley
half-breed outcast with Outsider blood. As she grows into adulthood,
the spirited pup continues to come into conflict with pack leader Ruuqo.
She also sneaks off to be with humans, who are encroaching on wolf territory
and who often drive the wolves from their kills. Fraternization is strictly
forbidden, but as Kaala's mother has foreseen in dreams, it may also
be the key to saving every wolf and human in the valley. Hayes's remarkable
fluency when writing in Kaala's voice is immediately absorbing. The
mythologies of the societies she invents are underdeveloped, but the
relationships between the human characters and the wolf characters are
keenly felt, and the conflicts sharply imagined. Hayes's keen interpretations
of wolf behavior, senses and sensibilities will enchant paranormal fans
and animal lovers alike. (June)
