Description
Raised by his missing mother's macabre bedtime tales and the streetlights of London, England, Cass knows all too well what kind of things lurk in the night. He also knows they're just stories. Up until London's shadows start turning corporeal, baring hungry eyes and gleaming teeth. And they want his sister. An attempt to rescue her dumps Cass on an island threaded with mayhem, where the entire world's sanity hangs at the mercy of a savagely strange boy - one who seems more myth than king, who hides behind a dark mask and a black wolf coat, and who rules like a tyrant simply by the catastrophes of one bad mood. Trying to find his way back home, and evade falling into the boy's bloody hands, Cass runs into a wolf hunter, all sharp smiles and an even sharper mind, with a red bow strapped to her back. Continuously, she proves to be his only ticket for survival in a world where monsters lurk within every fragment of the dark - beasts Cass knew only from his mother's stories. But when their loyalties start to fracture and the island begins to unravel, Cass's dreams of going home and uncovering the truth behind his parents' abrupt disappearances soon transform into an instinct to keep himself alive in a world crumbling from a century old curse. With the help of a broken solider who might be even more insane than the island itself, Cass slowly learns how to let go of a past saturated by guilt and become the true savior the island needs. But in a world where morals are stripped and minds are easier things to break than bones, sometimes the true monsters can only be found lurking within the darkest parts of us. Inspired by the legends of Peter Pan and Little Red Riding Hood, WE WALK AS WOLVES is a completed YA Fantasy!
