The Lure of Wolves and Whispers
Prepare to enter the “dark and deliciously addictive” new fantasy world where buying magic comes with a horrific price.
Years after the High King banned magic from the mist-shrouded isle of Eireann, whispers persist that a mage remembered only as the Martyr lies in hiding, waiting to lead the people into their powers once more.
For Maeve, the stories are just that —stories. But when her sister is gravely injured, Maeve risks a horrific fate for a chance to buy the forbidden magic that could save her sister’s life and enters a deadly bargain with a ruthless and dangerously alluring rebel leader.
Bound to do the rebel leader’s bidding, Maeve begins to suspect he knows more about the stories of the Martyr than he lets on. A dark past soon emerges tying him to a prince who could be even more brutal than his father — and who could hold the key to whether they will live or die. With the isle on the brink of war, trust and survival come at a terrible cost— one that will tear her world, and her heart, in two.
What would you sacrifice to survive?
