In The Sight, set in Transylvania in the Middle Ages, brave wolves battle an evil, ambitious outcast wolf named Morgra, as foretold in a prophecy. The legend continues in this sequel as we return to these dark woods and meet a black wolf named Fell, who also possesses the gift of the Sight, the ability to see into the minds of others. Intrigued by humans, Fell joins up with Alina, a young woman who, like him, is alienated from her kind, and the two embark on a dangerous journey to fulfill their destinies. Full of rousing battles, detailed wolf mythology, and lyrical descriptions, this long, dark, but involving tale will appeal to fans of animal fantasy epics.

Booklist
The sequel to The Sight (2002) is another mesmerizing page-turner set in Transylvania, in which the author again draws on old legends and tales, including those about Baba Yaga and Dracula. Fell, the black wolf who wanders without a pack, and Alina, a 15-year-old human, are both gifted with the Sight, which enables them to communicate, and both haunted by frightening visions, dreams, and inner demons. The companions join forces to fulfill a prophecy indicating that Alina willrescue nature itself from doom. Their trek is fraught with perils introduced by the evil Lord Vladeran, who tried to have Alina killed asa very little girl and has recently learned that she still lives. Vladeran's arsenal includes the spirit of the cunning wolf Morgra, called up to exert dark powers over Fell. Despite some minor discrepancies and an ending that feels way too pat, this book will be deemed worth the trip by returning readers as well as some newcomers, who will find sufficient back story to illuminate this adventure and to pique interest in the earlier one.
