Twelve-year-old Carmen has a secret: she can talk to her cat Grim. But the powerful Brotherhood has banned pets, and the penalty is death.

Ward is the most wanted boy in the world. The only thing standing between him and the hangman's noose is master criminal Saint Nick. In exchange for Nick's protection, Ward must find the long-lost horn called the Oliphant, said to have the power to wake legendary beings known as the Sleepers, whom Nick believes can aid him in his guerilla war against the Brotherhood. This leads Ward to Carmen, whose family has a long and mysterious association with the Oliphant.

Ward and Carmen are soon hot on the trail of the horn, but the Brotherhood are closing in on Carmen's family. Ward and Carmen realise that waking the Sleepers may be the only thing that can save Carmen's parents from certain death. If only they knew how.

28 parts Complete Mature
Kiara Blackmoon. A powerful Alpha whose pack was slaughtered not too long ago. Now a rouge, she has been on the run, hunted by the same people who tore her pack apart. Not only because she is the last living member of the Blackmoon pack... but because she is also the last black wolf. Thrust into a new reality once again, will she be able to fit in? When life is against her, how will she cope with her new friends, allies, and her soulmate? Will she be able to let them in? Or will she forever keep to herself? Liam Grayson. Alpha of the White Shadow pack. His life hasn't been easy. Second in line, he wasn't likely to become Alpha. That changed when his brother died the same night Kiara's pack was slaughtered. 3 years later when he finally meets Kiara, he is surprised to find they're mates. What's more odd, is their connection. One that can only truly be formed if they perhaps grew up together, but that's impossible. Liam and Kiara have never met. He knows this to be true. What happens when the past comes back to haunt them both? New enemies will be revealed that threaten them both. Will they be strong enough to fight and live? ***** Black wolves are the strongest of any wolf; they are faster than any wolf; they have heightened senses beyond compare. Said to be a myth, black wolves are feared among others due to the lack of information about them. And what people don't understand, they tend to destroy. **#26 in blackwolf **#18 in fastpaced
