Lord of the Wolves, a legendary warrior whose greatest challenge will come with the woman he is destined to wed. In the fiery Melisande he will find his heaven and hell. Even as he wages war for her heart, he dares not yield his own. Even as he lays sweet seductive siege to her body, he tries to shield his soul. It will take a common enemy and a little trust to awaken them both to a love that can change their lives forever.

Watcher is a dreamer. He dreams of hunting with the Gray Woods Pack, of honoring the Trees, of making the red snow and tasting the first share, of running as fast and howling as strong as his brother, the mighty Orion.

The Wolves of God and Other Fey Stories by Algernon Blackwood is about Blackwood's collection of thrilling fantasy tales about romance, friendship, and murder. Excerpt: "AS the little steamer entered the bay of Kettletoft in the Orkneys the beach at Sanday appeared so low that the houses almost seemed to be standing in the water; and to the big, dark man leaning over the rail of the upper deck, the sight of them came with a pang of mingled pain and pleasure. The scene, to his eyes, had not changed. The houses, the low shore, the flat treeless country beyond, the vast open sky, all looked the same as when he left the island thirty years ago to work for the Hudson Bay Company in distant N. W. Canada."
