Fire Wolf

Fire & Reign #1

by H. Danielle Crabtree

Since the fall of the royal house, the four kingdoms have been divided and at war, leaving many without necessities to survive.

Lady Myah Leicht would do anything for her people, even risk herself—the future high lady of Nordlin—to join her friends to raid supply convoys and storehouses belonging to the enemy army against her uncle and his council’s wishes.

Garrett wants nothing more than to be done with the Osten Elite Guard, but his position as master keeps him close to the queen and close to the secrets the resistance needs. But only one secret he keeps matters to the future of the four kingdoms.

A secret that could burn Myah’s world to the ground.

Sooooooo good!

I enjoyed this story of a lady who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty in a fight for her people and lands, and the loyal friends and fearsome foes she encounters. Myah knows her strengths and acts accordingly, usually with bow and arrow. Skye and Cal's camaraderie and protectiveness compliment for Myah's need for active participation in their rebellious activities. And Garrett is a great foil for the trio; the despicable yet conflicted captain to the warmongering (and perhaps deranged?) queen of the neighboring country clearly has his own agenda - and a magical fire wolf as a confidant. The worldbuilding and rules of magic laid out in "Fire Wolf" are enjoyable, and the development of a nascent love triangle - or perhaps trust triangle at this point - means I can't wait for the next installment of the Fire & Reign series!
