Overview

The second mesmerizing installment in The Wolf Chronicles finds Kaala struggling with the consequences of forming the first mixed wolf-human pack.

• Fantastical plot based on science: Rich with mythology and spiritual lore, The Wolf Chronicles series began 14,000 years ago, but at the heart of the story is a scientific theory that is alive today: co-evolution, the idea that it was wolves, and later dogs, that made humans the dominant species on the planet by teaching us to hunt cooperatively, hold territories, and form complex societies. One young wolf, Kaala, is charged with watching over humans and keeping them connected with nature. She must lead a group of wolves to live amongst the humans for a year—without anyone winding up dead. But when the prey diminishes, inevitable tensions between the species arise.

• Raves from readers and reviews: Dorothy Hearst’s first Wolf Chronicle installment was an auspicious debut. The critics weighed in, calling Promise of the Wolves and Hearst’s writing: “Enchanting,” “Tolkien-esque,” “a natural talent for writing action and setting scenes,” “beguiling,” “dazzling,” and more. The reader reviews for this author are equally passionate, as one reader put it: “Humans can learn a great lesson from the wolf pack. This book is a tribute to them.…I wanted to read it very slowly and did not want it to end.”

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In the second of The Wolf Chronicles, set 14,000 years ago, the relationship between a pack of wolves and a tribe of primitive humans continues to evolve. Under the edict of the secretive Greatwolves (who rule Wide Valley), young wolf Kaala and her chosen human TaLi—with the help of the irreverent raven Tlitoo—must prove that humans and wolves can cooperate by keeping peace between them for one year, under pain of death for all in the valley. Factions among both the different wolfpacks and the Greatwolves themselves put the experiment at risk. Meanwhile, TaLi's tribe is tempted to reject their traditional harmony with nature and her intended shamanistic role as krianan. Despite the heavy-handed supernatural elements and environmental message, Hearst (Promise of the Wolves) writes convincingly and engagingly of lupine behavior, and the interactions among wolves and wolfpacks never fail to captivate. Though the backstory is well integrated with the ongoing saga, the trilogy's middle installment includes much tortuous interspecies mysticism devoted to Kaala and TaLi's destined roles, while leaving their immediate situation irritatingly unresolved.

    Aptly Titled Book

    A satisfying continuation of Kaala's story. The author takes you deeper into the Valley to expand Kaala's world, and the young animal and human characters continue to grow and their personalities deepen. In this aptly titled second installment of the series, everyone seems to have secrets, from Kaala to the Greatwolves to Tlitoo. The book introduces an intriguing new wolf from outside the Valley and solves a mystery from the first book. There are some surprising alliances formed, as well. I highly recommend this for fans of the first book. (Warning: There are some heartbreaking losses in this book, too!)

    A masterpiece.

    It was fate that brought me to the first book. And sheer obsession that brought me to the next! :) i cant help but admire the storyline, characters, and plots, not to mention the fact that im squealing in excitment for the next book. I am truely looking forward to it and feel it will be a great one, just like the past two of her masterpieces! Shes an absolutely incredible author and this book will have you flipping the pages in anticipation. I highly recommend this book. Not reading this book is the biggest mistake, and failed opportunity, you can make. Trust me.

    Loved it

    After I read the first book I had some predictions in my head about what was going to happen, but none of them came close to what happened in this book. I loved this book and I would reccomend this series to anyone with a love for animals. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book.
