Dreams of the Hunter - Paperback

by Christine Cossette (Author)

They dance on the edge of her mind. Following you in the dark, they'll strike when the opportunity is perfect, a shrieking howl the last thing you hear. She knows where they are, she dreams of the howling and rage they feel. An unknown voice calls to her in the night.

Now Marroll will hunt them as a Mercenary of Weisdale, sworn to protect her homeland, she will eliminate the Àmhghar - ones suffering and afflicted with a curse, masquerading in the skin of a wolf. A mythic fantasy story unfolds with elements from Scottish folklore and history. Surprise after surprise derails Marroll's life, causing her to question her beliefs, her chosen direction, and herself. Why can she see them dance in her mind? Where did they come from? Who does the voice belong to?Social unrest shakes the other half of her life, those close to her trying to claw their way out of it and into peace, but peace is not found in the wilds - or Caolas. They are not faster than them, their numbers pale in comparison to those that call it home, their strength not nearly enough on their own.Marroll must learn to trust in both herself, and others, or be torn apart by competing forces.
