Rise of the Wolf

IT STARTED THE NIGHT THE BEAST APPEARED ...

DREW IS AN ordinary shepherd's son living on the Cold Coast of Lyssia, until a horrifying creature bursts into his home and savagely murders his mother—and Drew transforms into a beast himself. Part boy, part wolf, and bristling with powers he can't control, Drew flees to the perilous Dyrewood to escape his vengeful father, who thinks Drew is the murderer. But when he's discovered and taken captive by Werelords, the shape-shifters who rule Lyssia, Drew is shocked to discover that he's one of them, and that his royal blood is a threat to the crown of King Leopold the Lion. Now Drew is Lyssia's most-wanted man—and its only hope against the evil plans of the tyrant king. For fans of the Ranger's Apprentice books comes this swashbuckling new series about an unlikely hero and the animal lurking within us all.
