Echoes of the Past: Into the Wild

By Francesca McMahon

What happens to a wolf who's hungry and alone?

 

They become desperate.

 

Echo knew it was the time to find his true home outside his pack. He just didn't realise how difficult the decision would be. After being chased out of every territory he entered, Echo is almost out of options.

 

Then he finds a land beyond the mountains, untouched by wolves. 

 

Is this too good to be true? Surely there's nothing scarier than the big bad wolf?

 

Find out in this prequel short story to Home to the Wild, a young adult adventure series.

Dedicated to my very own pack who have stayed by my side since the beginning. Rosh and Tebs – I will always be grateful.

Echo didn’t regret much. He’d not lived enough to have regrets that haunted him – until now that was.

Reviews for Echoes of the Past

[Areej Mahmoud · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great start to the series. The writing could feel slow at times but the wolf perspective keeps thing interesting. Looking forward to what comes next. Echo and Larka’s dynamic is just so enjoyable
