Daughter of Wolves
Formats & Editions
A dark romantic fantasy by Sunday Times bestselling author Nicki Pau Preto.
Lua is a seventh-born daughter, cursed and claimed by the dark forest. The Wood takes what it is owed, and her human parents encroached on forbidden land to build their fine house. Raised among its ancient trees and dangerous denizens, Lua runs with wolves, barefoot and wild, and spends her nights watching the family that abandoned her at birth.
When Lua's childhood crush, Cristiano, offers her his hand in marriage-and a place within her own family-Lua cannot refuse. Their love and acceptance are everything she's ever wanted, but it comes at a cost: abandoning her duty to the Wood. Thrust into civilized life, Lua spends her days trying to fit in among the humans while her fiance parades her around. At night, she sneaks from her bedroom to make reports to the mysterious Thorne, a loyal servant of the Wood who mocks Lua's obsession with the humans and pushes her to embrace what she truly is-a shapeshifter unwilling to take on her wolf form.
But everything is not as it seems. Soon, alliances shift, lovers become enemies, and Lua must choose between the human realm, and the gruff woodsman, who might be more than just a servant of the Wood . . .
