Silver: An Unholy History of Wolfkind
The Moon is dead.
The holy book She left behind is full of mysteries.
The wolves in Her woods long for blood.
Six years have passed since the beast was due to stir. Since then, Erin Teague’s pack has labelled him a ‘heretic.’ He has kept his head down to survive, protected by his stepmother, Theresa. But no secret can stay buried forever.
After a diplomatic mission goes wrong, Erin finds himself facing the ire of Valerie Lessard, the zealous Alpha of a neighbouring pack. Valerie is determined to have Erin sacrificed according to the words of the Unath Imom —the holy book of their kind—which weaves a narrative as disorienting as the forest itself. But Erin has a secret. Six years have passed since he woke up able to read its words, written in a language thought lost to time. Something is horribly wrong with its verses, and Erin is determined to translate it, no matter how many laws he must break.
As the threat of Lessard Pack looms large, Erin flees with his work to the isolated Norwood Pack. There, he comes under the protection of Alpha Marius a rebellious leader willing to bend the words of the Unath Imom to serve his own purposes. The pair have a shared interest in the inconsistencies of the Unath Imom . However, sinister truths about the Moon Goddess lie not simply within Her recorded word but buried deep within the land itself. The forest thirsts for blood. And within the pines, something dead stirs.
A thrilling tale of punishment, empowerment, and redemption, K.S. Kuffer weaves a dark and twisting narrative in the tradition of gothic horror.

Silver: An Unholy History of Wolfkind was a wonderful read which I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end. Erin's journey from shut-in and social pariah to the centre of a world-shaking, iconoclastic conflict is both compelling and fraught with suspense. His own internal conflicts are punctuated by eldritch horrors beyond his understanding, but seek nothing less than his very destruction. Accompanied by various memorable characters, Erin's journey of struggle and self-acceptance is excellently written, making for both a wonderful introduction to the genre and a very fun read overall.
