Spring of the Wolf by Iris Foxglove and Kris Antham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
In the cold spring air of Lukos, a man wraps a cloak of fur around his shoulders and transforms into a sleek white wolf, racing across the countryside...
Zephyr has always been cursed. The same fur that gives him the ability to shift between wolf and man allows others the power to control his will. Doomed to follow any order given by one who holds his cloak, Zephyr steals it from his tyrannical foster-father and takes off into the wilderness.
Dragan Wolf-Breaker has spent his life leading the people of Lukos and raising his daughter, Elena, as a single father. When the injured white wolf who collapsed on his door turns out to be a man mistreated by those who were supposed to protect him, Dragan slowly begins to earn Zephyr’s trust by showing him that his submission is a gift, not a curse.
A compelling story and well-narrated. As in the first audiobook, a few things niggle at me when listening. Like, a hare digging a burrow. Or a tub big enough for a grown man to float in, that is ready in half an hour, while all the water has to be made warm with a kettle above a fire.
But what counts most is: the society and characters are lovely. The narration was beautiful.
I loved this novel and would have rushed to the next, but those are MMF.
