Reviews

[D. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't really review this book very accurately, because I helped write it. I'm pretty fond of it, though, so I do recommend at least checking it out. I promise this is not your teenage daughter's werewolf book. It is our take on the nature of werewolves not just as tortured men and women living under some kind of curse once a month, but as thinking and feeling individuals in a society as fully complex as our own. We hope you enjoy it, as well as its prequels, The Ironborn Claim and The Heartborn Mate.
