Praise for Book 1 in the series
"An inspiring read for any child who loves the natural world."—ROSANNE PARRY, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A WOLF CALLED WANDER
Raised by his adoptive father, Wolf 21 has become one of Yellowstone’s most famous wolves. As leader of the Druid pack, he’s known for his bravery, his kindness, and his commitment to his mate—the equally impressive Wolf 42. Together, they are a couple the likes of which the park has never seen.
Then there’s Wolf 302: a flirt who avoids fights, naps during conflicts, and begs for food instead of hunting. When the trouble-making rebel starts hanging around the Druids, 21 and 42 try to drive him away, but 302 keeps coming back, and, little by little, begins to grow out of his immature ways. But is it enough? Does 302 have what it takes to become an alpha like the greats who came before him?
Drawing on Rick McIntyre’s work with the wolves of Yellowstone and told in an engaging style that brilliantly captures the real-life drama of the wolves’ lives, A Time of Legends is a powerful story of redemption and transformation.

About the author
Rick McIntyre
18 books332 followersRick McIntyre is the acclaimed author of the Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone Book Series, which includes The Rise of Wolf 8: Witnessing the Triumph of Yellowstone's Underdog and The Reign of Wolf 21: The Saga of Yellowstone's Legendary Druid Pack (coming October 2020). McIntyre is currently at work on the third book in the series, about Wolf 302. McIntyre has recorded over 100,000 sightings of wild wolves--which is more sightings than any other person in history--and has written more than 7 million words of wolf observations, making him one of the world's foremost experts on wild wolf behavior. He has been featured on NPR, 60 Minutes, the Washington Post, the podcast This is Love and his book, The Rise of Wolf 8, was an Amazon Best Science Book of the Year and selected as a Notable Book by the prestigious Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Awards.
McIntyre worked as a ranger naturalist and wolf researcher for the National Park Service for four decades including many years in Alaska's Denali National Park, where he first began to study wolves. In 1994 he became Yellowstone National Park's first Wolf Interpreter, educating thousands of park visitors each year on Yellowstone's now-famous Wolf Reintroduction Project, which sought to reintroduce wolves to the park after the last wolves were shot and killed by park rangers 60 years earlier, in the 1920s. One day, McIntyre observed one of the first reintroduced wolves--a small, unassuming pup, the runt of his litter--stand up to a grizzly bear to protect his brothers. Over the next few years, McIntyre watched the small pup grow into a powerful alpha male, whose acts of bravery, loyalty, and kindness impressed McIntyre so much that he made him the subject of his first book, The Rise of Wolf 8. McIntyre profiles Wolf 8's equally remarkable adopted son in The Reign of Wolf 21.
In 1998, McIntyre transferred to the Wolf Reintroduction Project full-time and helped with research on the park's wolf population. He continued to work with the public by presenting talks along the roadside and showing visitors the wolves through his telescope. McIntyre retired from the National Park Service in 2018 to focus on his books, however, he continues to observe the Yellowstone wolves on an almost-daily basis, rain or shine. He lives in Silver Gate, Montana.
