My new novella, Wolfhearted, arrives December 21. It’s been a long journey, and I’m so pleased to finally have this story to share. With a little romance and a lot of sword and sorcery, Wolfhearted unfolds in that shadowy land between duty, responsibility, and the heart’s desire. Pre-order here.

What to expect of Wolfhearted

Runa, alone, survives the massacre.  

But a traitorous mage has captured her king’s essence—his vital energy, linked to a long line of wolf-shifter rulers. Unless Runa can recover that power by dawn, the mage will command not only her and but also her kindred. Yet Runa is the weakest of the pack. Her quest will fail unless she finds help, and the dark winter woods is deserted but for a small dog and a young soldier.  

Prince Paolo is eager for adventure and stirred to action by Runa’s ordeal. As they learn to trust each other’s unique skills, attraction blossoms. But the mage is a trusted figure from Paolo’s past. And he’s filled his lair with marvelous steam-powered machinery and ambitious plans for the prince’s future. Paolo can’t help but have second thoughts about Runa’s story and must choose between his promise to Runa and the life he’d hardly dared to envision.

Can Runa recover the king’s essence and protect her kindred?  The answers lie in the wolf’s very heart.

“Runa and Paolo both have toughness and softness that make them unique to traditional heroes.”
