The Gift of Valgink

Backed up against a cliff, with nowhere to run to, Desdar Bandas-a human slave who is only one year away from freedom-must figure out how to save his life and the life of his elvish mistress, Kencha, from a pack of violent, bloodthirsty smoke wolves. Yet when it turns out that Kencha has stolen from the pack a sacred object of immense value to the smoke wolves, Desdar is forced to choose between his freedom and Kencha's survival.
