About This Book

A large wild dog of mixed wolf and husky blood moves between the northern wilderness and human company, torn between feral instinct and attachment to a woman who once cared for him. After exposure to traps, guns, and human cruelty he forms a deep bond with a she-wolf mate, leads hunts, and answers the call of the pack while defending those he loves. The episodic tale traces survival through blizzards, fights with predators and men, rescues and losses, and examines loyalty, vengeance, and the tension between domestication and the pull of wild nature as the animal’s identity evolves.
