Book Description
"Terrific, life-lit moments come howling out of Hunt for the Shadow Wolf."—The Telegraph "[Derek Gow is] a wry, profane truth teller who is equal parts yeoman farmer, historical ecologist, and pirate."—Ben Goldfarb, author of Eager and Crossings "Beautifully crafted, fascinating and unbearably poignant, I totally loved this book."—Isabella Tree, author of Wilding Renowned rewilder Derek Gow has a dream: that one day we will see the return of the wolf to Britain as it has already returned elsewhere. As Derek worked to reintroduce the beaver, he began to hear stories of the wolf, both real and mythical, and his fascination with this creature grew. With increasing curiosity, Derek started to piece together fragments of information, stories and artefacts to reveal a shadowy creature that first walked proud through these lands and then was hunted to extinction as coexistence turned to fear, hatred – and domination. What Derek came to realize was that the underlying motives behind our hatred were actually far more prosaic and, like most persecutions, to do with power and profit. We turned the wolf into a savage beast and saw its extirpation as a civilizing mission. But the wolf survived far longer than many thought and Derek tells of his sightings of the wolf through folklore and mythology, the records of grand estates and parish churches as well as wolf heads, both real and recreated. With bitingly funny but also tender stories, Hunt for the Shadow Wolf is Derek’s quest to uncover the true nature of this creature because, as we seek to heal our landscape, we must reconcile our relationship with it. Before we can even begin to bring the wolf back, we need to understand it. "I have loved this chase dearly and though what unfolds might be an ending of sorts, I have no intention to let this hunt cease."―Derek Gow, from Hunt for the Shadow Wolf "Gow reinvents what it means to be a guardian of the countryside."—The Guardian

Book Description
Wolf is on the run—from the oppressive monastery where he was raised, from the ghosts and demons that haunt the windswept moors of Devil's Edge, and from the shadows in the landscape that resemble the Devil himself. When Wolf rescues a strange child on Devil's Edge, he takes her to a grand castle hoping to win the favor of its ruler. There he strikes up an unlikely friendship with a girl named Nest, and he thinks he's finally found a place to call home. Wolf is determined to fit in, but not everything is as it seems at the castle. Dark forces are conspiring against Wolf and Nest, and a sinister enemy is looming closer than they could ever realize. With lies masquerading as reality, will Wolf and Nest learn who they can trust . . . before it's too late? Critically acclaimed author Katherine Langrish has created a wonderfully spooky and richly imagined world of ghosts and magical creatures, where good may be evil and light may give way to dark.

Book Description
The wolf is an adept killer, able to take down prey much larger than itself. While adapted to hunt primarily hoofed animals, a wolf - or especially a pack of wolves - can kill individuals of just about any species. Combining behavioral data, thousands of hours of original field observations, research in the literature, a wealth of illustrations, and - in the e-book edition and online - video segments from cinematographer Robert K. Landis, the authors create a compelling and complex picture of these hunters.

Book Description
My secret is out, and the Alpha knows what I am. Despite ten years of secrecy, Lachlan has realized that I'm his mate. He is not pleased that I've been hiding from him. And the fact that I escaped from his cell? Yeah, he hates that too. It's hardly my worst problem, though. There's a killer after me. Multiple killers, if our source is to be believed. As much as I want to run a hundred miles from Lachlan to avoid the mate bond, it's too dangerous. I need his help to find the people who are after me, and there's no way he'd let me go, anyway. As much as I hate it, we're going to have to team up to stop a madman. The hunt forces us together, and despite our best efforts to resist each other, it becomes harder every day. It's going to take everything I have not to fall to temptation, but I must--especially if I want to survive.

Book Description
I'm supposed to be the Alpha's mate. Screw that. Since I was born, I was destined to be one thing-the Alpha's Mate. It should be every girl's dream. Not mine, though. He's too dark and damaged, and I've got a secret he can never know: I'm not a true wolf. Instead of waiting for him to figure out I'm an abomination, I left on my fifteenth birthday. But I didn't go far. No way in hell would I let him drive me from the town I love. Ten years later, I'm still hiding in plain sight. When I occasionally see him on the street-deadly, sexy, powerful--I just walk by. Keep my head down. Until that night. Wrong place, wrong time, and suddenly I'm accused of murdering someone from my old pack. And he's there. Blaming me. I've got one chance to prove my innocence and find the real killer, or I'm dead by shifter law. Fortunately, the Alpha doesn't recognize me because I'm no longer the same ugly duckling. He senses I'm special though, and he won't stop until he figures out the truth. But when he does, I'll be in danger from more than just the murderer.
