Overview

A kingdom on the eve of war. A queen held captive. A land in turmoil. A shape-changer's heart. Suchen's life as Steward of Kellsjard is a good one, if uneventful. But the arrival of the exiled wizard Ax threatens to upset her quiet existence. The task he sets for her seems simple on the surface: escort Trethya, a young noblewoman, from the southern reaches of the kingdom back to the safety of Kellsjard's walls. Soon, however, Suchen and her companions-five warriors Sworn to the service of her lord-discover that the fate of the entire kingdom depends on keeping Trethya alive. For only Trethya is privy to a deadly secret: Rozah, Queen of Jenel, is held captive by her regency council. If she is not freed, the treacherous Council will force her into a marriage with a necromancer intent on making Jenel his own. Pursued by enemies, attacked by shape-changers, and threatened by hidden traitors, their path seems doomed to end in death. But into this mix comes an unlikely ally: Yozerf Jonaglir, scion of the non-human Aclytese race, heir to a forgotten throne. Haughty, bitter, and haunted by the darkness of his past, Yozerf at first seems the antithesis of everything Suchen has ever known. Yet from the first, she finds herself drawn to this wild stranger, finding in him an answer to the longings of her own heart. But is Yozerf the friend he seems to be--or will the dark secrets he hides ultimately destroy them all?

    Good Find

    I went looking for something new to read and came up with this gem. I'm very glad I found it and plan on buying the other two in the series as soon as I finish this review.

    I have a great weakness for shape-shifters and this author has more than delivered on a lovely concept. Her touch of romance was just hot enough to keep me tantalized, just like I like it.

    Thank you SO much for writing.

    Superb romantic fantasy

    Knowing the ice is taking control of his land and making it more and more hostile, Emperor Jahcgroth decides the only way to save his people and his rule is to relocate to a more hospitable locale. He chooses Jenel, persuading the corrupt advisors to the young Queen Rozah that marriage between the royals is good for both countries. <P>The famous wizard Ax believes the end justifies the mean. In that regard he sends Suchen and her sworn warriors to safely escort Trethya. Next Ax dispatches Yozerf to assist his warriors even as Suchen and the other escorts begin to understand the importance Trethya plays in a world going mad. Now instead of a convoy, they are on a quest to free Rozah from her stifling wardens and from the necromancer Emperor Jahcgroth. However, though with them, the warriors detest Yozerf as an unworthy half-breed. Yozerf does not help himself with his fellow freedom fighters as he distrusts everyone. <P>Fans of romantic fantasy will fully enjoy WOLFKIN, a strong entry due to the fully developed key cast members and a realm filled with magic that seems to exist. The story line is filled with twists and turns so that the reader is never sure what will happen next, but Elaine Corvidae never loses sight of the prime theme of her tale. Readers will look forward to more adventures in the world of Jenel perhaps a final confrontation between an amoral magic practitioner and an angry young man with an ax to grind. <P>Harriet Klausner
