Reign of Terror

(PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS PART OF A TRILOGY - The Break-Away Series)

Ara Hudson and her family have moved away from the big city of Brilliantine, due to a sudden war that has been started by an infamous new organisation. Anarchists are currently threatening to take over control of the capital, so the Hudson family and their friends left quickly, before they could be caught up in the bombings and chaos.

Now, the Hudsons hope to find a new home for themselves and the families in their group, somewhere in Turba Desert, the interior of the island, near the rugged and forbidding Lupis Mountain. However, wolf packs have been making vicious and relentless attacks on the small group of families. No matter how hard they try to defend themselves, they can't seem to make any impact on these formidable foes. The wolves are devilishly clever, and it's getting dangerous to even leave the camp to get fresh water from a nearby oasis.

Mr Hudson wonders whether he should turn around and go back. The threat of the wolves is getting more dangerous day by day, and they wonder if the battles might be even worse than enduring the chaos and disorder in the city.

But Ara likes living in the wild and open desert. She loves the sunsets, the sand, and the towering waterfall at the bottom of Lupis Mountain. She and her twin brother, Luke, have gotten used the freedom and excitement of living in the desert. They enjoy the challenge and the independence that their adventurous life brings. They do NOT want to go back the city!

So... it's up to Ara, Luke, and their two best friends to help find a solution to the wolf problems. Together, they might be able to design a way to keep their families (and other similar small groups nearby) safe from further attacks.

But the more Ara sees of the intelligence of the wolves, the more she begins to wonder... How much effort will the solution really require?
And who else will trust them enough to join them?
