Sneak Peek of Dire Wolf Wanted

Sneak Peek of Dire Wolf Wanted (Ice Age Shifters Book 4)

The fourth book in the Ice Age Shifters series is available now, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. See below for a sneak peek of Dire Wolf Wanted.

This book took its time, largely because of my overactive muse, so it's longer than the first three books. I already knew that the heroine, Rayne Chekal, would need an extraordinary hero. She's a dire wolf shifter and an agent for the Shifter Tribunal, the shifter world's version of law and justice. Arvik Inuktan is a spy for the Wizard Imperium and a mythical shifter with centuries of experience and a dark past. Unbeknownst to each other, they have each been sent undercover to take down an underground auction house that sells shifters and other magical species as slaves. She is a prisoner; he works for the auction house as a healer and wizard.

And yes, for those of you who have read the previous books, this is the same auction house mentioned in Shift of Destiny and Heart of a Dire Wolf.

In this excerpt, Rayne has been beaten by the guards and left for dead on Arvik's doorstep. This excerpt describes what Arvik learns:

In the course of the five days and the considerable magical energy it had taken to heal her, he’d made three impossible discoveries.

First, she had more free magic than most shifters, and he’d been able to direct it to help heal her without her shifting, which should have been impossible. All shifters had superb recuperative powers, but recovering from catastrophic injuries usually took shifting to their non-injured form to heal them.

Second, he couldn’t figure out her true animal form or her scent. Her records said maned wolf, with a bad photo of a tall, slender, stilt-legged wolf with a shoulder mane, but his magic said subtle illusion, which made no sense. The intake examiner had completely missed it. Her scent varied from one whiff to the next, which should be impossible. At that moment, she smelled of viburnum and granite. The auctioneer complained that customers wouldn’t buy her because she smelled like rot. Arvik had studied and practiced magic all over the world but had never come across anything like it.

Third, the usually dormant and thoroughly hidden parts of him had woken up to insist she belonged to him, and he to her.

Never mind that he’d been taught that his kind weren’t true shifters and couldn’t have true mates. Never mind that in nearly five hundred years of living, he’d never found reason to doubt it. Never mind that exposing his true nature would get him murdered, probably by her. True shifters hated his kind, with good reason.
