Synopsis

The Pack is Back - but so is Grey Pelt! 'More Magical Adventures of an English Setter Pack'. This novel follows on from the successful first book featuring the author's Setter family 'Memories of a Moon Map, the Extraordinary Adventures of an English Setter Pack'. All the pack members are here, but this time one of them moves centre D'Arcy, who carries the distinctive mark of Grey Pelt, the Spirit of the Last Wolf of Lakeland. These are his deep and dark thoughts as, at the opening of the story, he studies his reflection in Merlins Mere, named for the falcons that inhabit the stand of rowan trees at the far end of the 'I live in his shadow. At times I feel him within me, mostly as Lady Moon reaches her full power and glory and lights the heavens. I feel it even when clouds billow and veil her face.

It is then that the urge to lope freely over field and mountain, to poise on a summit, tilt my head and open my throat to give voice is strongest - and hardest to resist'. Eventually he loses the battle and at the next full moon sets out alone on his perilous journey. He has no clear idea of where he is going or what he is expected to do, only that he must obey the inner promptings. Somehow he must discharge his obligation to Grey Pelt, and find his own true self. Having called on Grey Pelt in the past in order to rescue his fey sister Destiny, he must now repay the debt by embarking on The Quest. Alone, lost and injured, D'Arcy receives help from an unexpected source and a most unlikely relationship develops. Plagued by doubts and haunted by taboos and censure from both human and animal worlds, he is drawn ever deeper into the drama as it unfolds. This culminates in a breath-taking climax at full moon on the night of the Winter Solstice - with incredible and far-reaching results
