Publisher Description
The first book of the internationally bestselling Nightshade series by New York Times bestselling author Andrea Robertson!
Calla is the alpha female of a shape-shifting wolf pack. She is destined to marry Ren Laroche, the pack's alpha male. Together, they would rule their pack together, guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But then, Calla saves a beautiful human boy, who captures her heart. Calla begins to question everything - her fate, her existence, and her world and the orders the Keepers have asked her to follow. She will have to make a choice. But will she follow her heart if it means losing everything, including her own life?
Calla's story continues in WOLFSBANE.
*formerly published under Andrea Cremer*
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cremer's debut brings mystery and passion to a journey of self-determination. Calla was raised chaste and pure, destined to unite with high school heartbreaker Ren on their 18th birthday and become the alphas of a shape-shifting wolf pack. She has never questioned the authority the powerful Keepers hold over her kind until she encounters a human hiker and breaks the rules to save his life. Shay was almost convinced the wolf-girl who rescued him was a dream until he meets her at his new school. Pursuing his attraction to Calla, Shay also wants to know what the Keepers are protecting and why he seems to be linked to a prophecy. Drawn to both Ren and Shay, Calla is torn: fulfill the role she was born to and deny herself freedom of choice, or choose her own path and abandon everything and everyone she knows? Good and evil are simply portrayed as Calla sheds her na vet and learns to see past her expectations. Cremer creates a sense of urgency as the pace accelerates, though the well-constructed plot carries readers along to a cliffhanger. Ages 14 up.
Customer Reviews
Great book
Shay and calla are the perfect couple shay makes the book in interesting and so does everybody else. This book is one of my favorites
Good book, horrible character
This book is amazing, I love most of it! The only think that I absolutely hate, and I mean HATE about it is Shay. Shay is probably the only book character I've ever disliked, and he ruins the book so much, I've been tempted to return it before I've finished it. Yeah, I'll recommend this book, but only by a little because of that one awful character.
