Quotes by Francesca McMahon (?)

“Stories of the lone wolf were often spoken in packs with a level of awe that would make any youngling excited for the day they struck off alone to find their own home. Just like most stories, it seemed, the elders of his pack had left out some very important details.”
― Francesca McMahon, Echoes of the Past
