Saga of the Black Wolf Series

Wolf Brother Haunted by spectral wolves who call to him in his dreams, Raine finds that the reality isn’t easier. The wolves hail him as their “Chosen One” and their savior. His blood brother, Rygel, calls him “gai-tan”, the werewolf. But Raine, newly escaped slave and outlaw, fears the wolves who call to him. Yet, he cannot escape them. Nor can he save himself from falling headlong into love. The Gods’ Blessed Ly’Tana and her folks barely survive the deadly storm, the Wrath of Usa’a’mah. And in its devastation, she learns that fear comes in many forms. When a man she blessed prospers after receiving her blessing, she begins to suspect who she really is. And what the gods intend for her future. Not even her new found love for Raine can save her from what is to come. The Dark Assassins Rygel has been targeted by the deadly assassins who have sworn out a blood oath against him. Pursued by Brutal’s forces, now Raine, Ly’Tana and Rygel must elude these terrible foes and their silent hellhounds. And Rygel’s own cousin, the evil wizard Ja’Teel, has formed an unholy alliance with High King Brutal. He, too, swears to have Rygel’s head on a pike even as Rygel falls head over heels in love with Raine’s beautiful sister, Arianne.

Raine, Ly’Tana and the others escape Brutal’s trap, but with dire consequences. Kel’Ratan has been grievously injured, and Rygel must take him to safety to save his life. Yet, they are not out of danger. A monstrous storm called the Wrath of Usa’a’mah has halted their flight from Khalid and they must seek shelter within a remote monastery or die under the storm’s power. But High King Brutal has allied himself with the deadly assassins, the Shekinah Tongu. The secretive clan has sworn out a Blood Oath against Rygel in retaliation for his leaving their brothers in the forest to die. With their hellish hounds and Brutal’s dark wizard, Ja’Teel, they track Raine and Ly’Tana through the devastation left by the storm. Raine leads them into the west, toward Ly’Tana’s home of Kel’Halla, with Brutal’s menace confronting them at every turn. As he finds himself falling in love with the exotic Ly’Tana, Raine is plagued by a mysterious voice in his head. Is he going crazy? In Raine, Ly’Tana discovers the one man she cannot live without. However, an evil entity has targeted Ly’Tana, bent on her destruction. How can Raine, Rygel, Kel’Ratan and her griffin bodyguard, Bar, keep her safe from its vast, unseen power? Hunted by Brutal and his evil allies, Raine, Ly’Tana and their friends discover a new, and very strange, force dogging their trail – a pack of enormous, cunning wolves. Mysterious wolves who call to Raine in the night, and bring alive the secret he’s kept hidden, even from himself.
