Wolf in Night

“Tara K. Harper’s Wolfwalker novels are particular favorites of mine.”—Anne McCaffrey

Raised on a foreign world where telepathic wolves hunt in the mountains and mysterious aliens guard against the encroachment of humanity, Nori has grown up scouting in the wilderness. Like her mother before her, she searches for dangers that could devastate the isolated towns scattered across the countryside.

But the wolves have already encountered those forces. Now, disturbed by the sense of death along the broken cliffs of Ariye, they reach out to one who can help them. Unsuspecting, Nori answers the Grey Ones’ call–only to find herself mentally bonded to a half-grown, ferocious wolf.

Spies and assassins stalk the scouts and wolfwalkers while a deadly threat, once thought to be contained, spreads across the land. Caught between the wolves and the horror of plague, and with hired hunters at her heels, Nori is hounded deep into the wilderness to begin a journey that must end in victory . . . or death.

Tara K. Harper graduated from the University of Oregon, then went into high-tech, where she has worked in medical, genetic, electronic, and computer R&D. Active in community service, she teaches creative writing in alternative schools, trains youths in wilderness skills, and serves on the board of directors for a youth treatment center. A martial artist for many years, Harper also hikes, kayaks, sails, paints in oils, sculpts in stone, and plays the violin. Some of her latest adventures included canoeing in a small-craft advisory and being dragged around by a sixty-foot tree. Life, she says, has always been interesting.
