Returning to her childhood haven in the Minnesota woods, wolf researcher Alexandra Warrington, facially and psychically scarred, is seeking solace and peace; what she finds instead is a dream from her past and a choice. A reluctant werewolf hero, a heroine who is stronger than she believes, and a crazed villain combine in this tale of murder and self-discovery. In returning to the uniquely drawn world of the loup-garoux seen in her initial Prince of Wolves (Bantam, 1994), Krinard has created a story that, although not quite as passionate, is tighter, features more well-developed characters, and leaves fewer unanswered questions. Fans will be waiting for this one. Krinard lives in Concord, California.

From Literary Times
As a child, Alexandra Warrington believed in fairy tales. In the woods of Minnesota she found happiness one summer in the form of a wolf she named Shadow. That magical summer, Alex and Shadow became friends. The summer ended in tragedy when Shadow's parents were murdered by a poacher and a mysterious boy asked Alex for help. Alex never had a chance to keep her promise to the boy named Kieran Holt. But now she has returned to Minnesota to continue her study of wolves and perhaps she will get a second chance. Kieran Holt doesn't know what he is. His memory is lost and he is torn between his two selves-- wolf and man. He remembers Alex, a beautiful young girl who promised to help him once. But Alex only trusts the wolf side of Kieran, the part she calls Shadow. She doesn't trust the human side of Kieran. But Kieran needs to be a man to find out the truth to his forgotten past and Alex is his link to that past. Alex and Kieran are soul mates-- two loners, outcasts for different reasons. Alex is drawn to Kieran, but she has learned the hard way that she is unlovable. She can't help losing her heart to Kieran because he is everything she always wanted in a man-- the human version of Shadow.
