Wolf's Bane

Once, long ago, humans traveled the stars and walked on different moons. They flew through unearthly skies like eagles with silver wings. But on Asengar, the silver wings no longer rose. Eight centuries after the aliens brought Plague, humans lived by hiding their science, and engineered wolves ran wild on the world.

Dion, the wolfwalker – the Gray Wolf of Randonnen – was telepathically bonded to the Gray Ones. Thirteen years ago, she herself had seen the plague-death which the aliens had brought, not just to humans, but to the wolves. She had made a promise then – a promise to the wolves to heal them, in exchange for the lives of her family and friends. But time had held her, caught in the battles of men and the violence of her own world, instead of helping her find the cure which she sought.

Now, as fate ripped from her almost everything she held dear, she found only one reason to live: the Call of the wolves to help them. Driven by the Gray Ones, she would seek out and confront the alien birdmen – even if they would destroy her. In eight hundred years, no human had survived that contact, but Dion could not avoid it. Only by facing the aliens could she save herself... and the future of the wolves.
