Prologue

Tanya was ripped from her home by a group of men she called Gosels. They had no mercy as they began to decimate her people and home. Forced to watch her people die or suffer, she knows nothing will be the same. Fate intervenes, and a once enemy becomes something more.

She's learned a hard truth. There are things people will do just to survive and avoid fear or death. Tanya does not want to succumb to those stipulations herself and is drawn in by the fancy world of things in Arthdal. Morally sound, Tanya has to navigate this new hell and try not to lose herself in the process. The last of her people have already said they never want to go back. It is the most alone she's ever felt in her life.

Standing beside her, Yangcha who can only follow orders no matter how strong he is, begins to see the word in a new way. He has always strictly followed Tagon and his orders, but the man has changed. Even his secret, and that of his King, are in turmoil as he fights the draw to the girl he has to protect. If he waivers, he will meet his own end. It is only a matter of time until he will have to kill her, but as each day passes, he finds he cannot let harm come to her. This feeble girl stood up to their army, to their leader, and rose to power all without bloodshed on her hands. In it all, she never lost sight of who she was. She becomes the hope of the people. The real thing.

Her strength, fearlessness, and determination to save people from the retched mindset they live in is her driving force. Can a simple tribe girl become the most powerful of them all? Or will her life be cut short before she can become the star everyone looks up to for freedom?

Only the Great Wolf knows.....
