Promise of the Wolves is a creative, thought-provoking novel about wolf life, human–animal relationships and the balance of nature. Set 14,000 years ago, it creates a world in which wolves can speak with humans and other animals, time is counted in phases of the moon, distance is measured in wolflengths and honour to the pack is paramount.
This is a coming of age story as young wolf pup Kaala fights to survive and seeks truth to fulfil her destiny in a mythical world of Greatwolves, Ancients and spirits. Promise of the Wolves is told by Kaala and immediately you are drawn into the world of wolf.

Promise of the Wolves is the first in a trilogy that combines science and research with the magic of storytelling, and is sure to leave readers yearning for more.
