I didn’t know what to expect when I first started reading but I was
pleasantly surprised by the characters…so real yet a fantasy.
Yozerf,
an Aclyte shape-shifter, is indebted to a wizard named Ax who, saving him from death many
years before, has come to collect his due. As final payment of this debt, Ax commands him
to defend the kingdom of Jenel.
Suchen, a steward of Lord Auglar of
Kellsjard is approached by the same wizard, asking that she meet up with a young
noblewoman who is traveling alone, and escort her to Kellsjard for a meeting with Lord
Auglar.
Wolfkin is the adventure of Suchen and Yozerf, who are
thrown together by the wizard in a battle for their lives and those of the kingdom of
Jenel. They are ravaged by humans turning into dragons, wolves to humans, and by those
sworn to protect and defend.
Ms. Corvidae takes you inside the minds of
the characters…you become their demons and taste their fear. You watch as the Red
Guard transform from human to beast, you follow Yozerf into death and feel the pull of
the healermage as she restores him to life. Wolves and she-wolves stalk their prey and
shift to human form…their victory assured.
In the midst of this chaos,
love develops…a deep, soul-love that makes you fight in your heart for its survival as
you reaffirm that love conquers all.
This is a masterfully crafted
fantasy, full of surprises. The plots and sub plots kept me turning the pages as I read
my way through one of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
This is a
must read for lovers of fantasy and shape-shifting and…for those who aren’t…you will
be!
