She was ice, born amidst it, and she was Fáelben, bathed in the blood of wolves. The peace treaty between the five chieftains has been broken. MacMaol has declared himself ruler of Eryn, joined by two other traitors. When Muirne Arasgain’s brother and father ride out to stop his tyranny, she is left behind to defend her home. With news of an unexpected tragedy, Muirne is forced to become chieftain of Inbiur, the territory in which the Arasgain family has ruled for centuries. But when an otherworldly stranger arrives, suspected of being a spy and giving only his name: Riagan, Muirne’s home is infiltrated, and the life she knows is gone forever. Having lost her home and her family, Muirne must fight to get it all back. Escaping MacMaol’s prison, she finds Tolmach, the last chieftain of the alliance. Reluctant to assist, he points her in the direction of a mercenary group on the east coast of Eryn, who operate under no chieftain’s rule, bound by sword and coin. But who leads these mercenaries? Can they be trusted to aid her in ending MacMaol’s terror and restoring her territory? Or will Muirne’s world fall apart when she discovers the only person who can help her get everything back is the one who took it all to begin with? Woman of Wolves is a captivating tale of family, betrayal, second chances, and a woman’s unyielding strength in the face of battle and vengeance. Don’t wait to immerse yourself in this story, with unforgettable characters, gripping twists and turns, and a world that lingers long after the last page.
