The Wolf

April 1, 2007
Johnson continues the Son of Destiny series that began with The Sword (2007). Alys, her uncles prisoner, uses her shape-shifting talents to escape and reach Nightfall Isle, where she finds Wolfer, her closest childhood friend. In the castle she meets Kelly, the self-proclaimed Queen of Nightfall who is married to Wolfers twin. Kelly triggered the curse around which Johnsons complex fantasy-romance series is constructed. Although the plot may be slow moving, those who love detailed lovemaking scenes will revel in the 20 pages devoted to Alys and Wolfers first intimate encounter.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
