In a world devastated by plague, Torvi and her sister Morgunn can only rely on each other. So when Morgunn is captured by a pack of terrifying wolf-priests, Torvi knows she'll do whatever it takes to get her back - or die trying.

And she might just discover a life of adventure and wild freedom that's more glorious than she ever dreamed of.
