Description
Promise of the Wolves begins 14,000 years ago in what is now southern Europe, and follows the adventures of Kaala, a spirited young she-wolf who is destined to bring wolf and human clans together. Born of a forbidden mixed-blood litter and narrowly escaping the fate of her executed brother and sisters, the orphaned Kaala is allowed to join the Swift River wolf pack where she must fight to prove herself and survive against the odds. But when Kaala rescues a human child from drowning, she risks expulsion from her pack and banishment from her home in the Wide Valley. Unwittingly, she has set in train a series of events which threatens the very survival of her species.
"The story of Kaala and her pack takes readers on a journey into arich and fascinating world. A remarkable look into the mindof another kind of being."
-- Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make Us Human
"A vivid, enchanting tale of friendship, trust and adventure, good Tolkien-esque ingredients."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"A crackling foray into a dangerous past...remarkable fluency...immediately absorbing...the relationships between the human characters and the wolf characters are keenly felt, and the conflicts sharply imagined."
-- Publishers Weekly
"If you liked WATERSHIP DOWN, you should not miss Promise of the Wolves."
-- JEAN AUEL, author of THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR
