Wolves of the Beyond: Lone Wolf by Kathryn Lasky (author) (US edition)

Born to die – or born for greatness? A wolf pup’s story of courage and power. A mother has given birth, but she takes no joy from the warm bundle snuffling beside her. The pup has a twisted paw. The harsh code of the pack demands his death. The pack cannot have weakness; the pup will be abandoned in the cold, left to freeze to death. But alone in the wilderness, Faolan does not perish. Instead, he rises up to change forever the Wolves of the Beyond. This his story – one of survival, courage and destiny. Ice, magic and power crackle from every word.
