Book 1 of the Wolf-Warrior series. (This book can be read apart from the series.) Cursed-one. It is the name given to Sephtis by the people of the village, whom she has served since her sixteenth summer. It is a name that is used with hate and scorn, even used by her father, the king. For, even though she is a princess by birth, her hair and eyes are blue, and thus she is cursed, for blue stands for life and purity - all things death Fae are not. Sephtis has always been filled with a longing for love, kinship, and a home. Something she finds with a pack of wolves near the village. But when the time comes, she finds that she must choose what her life will be, and the choice is painful.
