In the misty woods of 16th-century Ireland, the line between myth and reality blurs.
Eight-year-old Fiadh is no ordinary girl-she's a Wolfwalker, a guardian of the forest with the power to become a wolf by night. Her amber eyes see the world differently, and her bond with the ancient woods is unbreakable. But her secret is a dangerous one, for the nearby village lives in fear of the wolves, believing them to be vicious beasts.
Dáire, a spirited 13-year-old with a curious heart, feels drawn to the forbidden forest despite her father's stern warnings. One fateful morning, she ventures too far and meets Fiadh-a girl unlike anyone she has ever known. What begins as a cautious friendship blooms into an unbreakable bond, forged through shared secrets and daring adventures.
But their fragile peace is threatened when Dáire's father, Conrí, leads a group of hunters into the woods, intent on destroying the wolves once and for all. With time running out, Dáire and Fiadh must unite their worlds to protect what they love most.
Rich with Celtic lore, breathtaking landscapes, and a tale of courage, "The Wolves Call" is a story of friendship, trust, and the unyielding call of the wild.
"Little Wolf! Little Wolf!" A young boy with dark hair called. He stood at the edge of the shadowy forest. His eyes peered into the woods, squinting as he struggled to see. He waited and waited, but was only met with silence. Confusion crossed his face. Was she coming?
"Little Wolf?" He called out again. He waited for a few moments again. His attention was then caught by the rustling of the bushes. A few more moments passed, then the redheaded girl appeared. Her green and blue eyes were bright with joy. She moves towards the boy, walking in all fours like a wolf. But the boy wasn't afraid, how could he be?
(This book was written several years ago when I was in middle school so it's pretty rough around the edges to put it lightly lmao)
