Synopsis

TO TOUCH THE STARS

She was Dion the Wolfwalker, and through her telepathic bond with the Gray Ones, she could hear the packsong and run with the wolves. And now, as fate ripped from her almost everything she held dear, her wolfbond became her only reason to live, for she could not  deny the Call of the wolves to help them. Driven by the need of the Gray Ones, she would seek out and confront the mysterious beings of the sky--the ones who had once brought death to the world. In eight hundred years, no human had survived that contact. But Dion could not avoid it.  Only by facing the aliens could she save herself . . . and the future of the wolves!

Maybe it's just that you go from Dion being mostly ok in book 3 to someone who basically se......more

My feelings about this Wolfwalker tale are a bit mixed. I both enjoyed the story (damn there's a lot of danger going on there!), but at the same time found it to be a bit too split, not focused enough... And don't get me started on that comic-y cover which seems childish compared to the elegant Dion......more

Goodreads review by Heather

I was excited to read Wolf’s Bane because I loved reading other Tales of the Wolves books in the past. On that note, I had trouble getting into this one. For me, it was slow paced and the plot was weak. Honestly, Wolf’s Bane did not hold my interest until Dion’s sons death. Dion’s initial grief and......more

out of all of her books this is my least favorite. I read to continue the series.... but I found it to be choppy. and it seemed to me at this point the author is just tormenting one of her best characters..........more
