Working for the Animal Defence Organisation, protecting the creatures of Wouldlock from hunters, has been a way of life for Wolf since he was a small child and lost his own parents. But now, animals are dying, and Wolf and his fellow rangers don't know why. Soon, Wolf realizes that stopping the killing will take him far beyond the forests of Wouldlock, through a world of naked greed and bitter revenge, testing his valour and showing him how strong the clasp of friendship can be. This fantasy-adventure novel from a 12-year-old author will appeal to young-adult readers.
