Dawn of a new Doomsday It was in the light of the swift star "God's-Eye" - said to have been thrown aloft by the Ancients before the Desolation - that Beatra was captured by raiders from under the Earth. Armed with only a psi-kinetic sand-sword and a Dire Wolf's eyes, Jeremy Wolfhead followed, and found a strange city ruled by the descendants of an ancient government that had escaped the Desolation - a city that was preparing to emerge and bring to Earth a second, even more horrible, Doomsday!
She is the granddaughter of Vax'tang Gorgasil - the Wolfhead. Agata was sixteen when vengeful, Khazar marauders entered her city through stealth and betrayal. They slew the royal family and many of Iberia's nobles. Striving to live up to her grandfather's formidable reputation, she survived, she forged an army of women and nearly took the country back. Forced to flee, Agata finds herself cooped up in her uncle's fortress with all her hard won freedoms denied to her. Prince Ren gives his niece just one choice - marry for the sake of the kingdom but the potential grooms are twisted and evil. When Viyan scales the side of the fortress and slips into the princess's room unseen, Agata is ripe for rebellion. In a tale of courage and adventure, Agata blazes a trail through her country to start a war with General Kazan. What she discovers will challenge everything she holds dear.
A tale of humane wolves, beastly men, and a brilliant heroine who must find her way in a dangerous world Raised by intelligent, language-using wolves, brought back to the human society at the court of Hawk Haven, young Firekeeper had to learn to cope with human society and its complexities . . . and discovered that, for someone raised in a wolf pack, the politics of a royal court were neither complex nor wholly unfamiliar. But the happy ending of Through Wolf's Eyes has proved to have consequences. Hawk Haven and Bright Bay are unifying, but the power balance of the neighboring lands is threatened by this prospect. New intrigues abound. The rulers of Bright Bay, it transpires, have been hoarding a collection of forbidden magical artifacts . . . which Queen Gustin took with her when she abdicated, intending to use them to restore her power. Melina Shield is still scheming to obtain them, and she's older, smarter, and more devious than the Queen. And the even-more-devious civil service of neighboring New Kelvin would like to get their hands on that magic as well . . . . Which will make life very hard for Firekeeper. Because the powers of the world have decided who'll be required to obtain those much-contended-for magical articles. It'll be her.

Immortalized in words and song, the symbol of the great, untreaded Wilderness, the shores surrounding Lake Superior rustle with stories of gregarious legend, unlikely heroes, quiet sorrow, and unmatched feats of bravery and adventure. From the earliest European records of the world's largest body of fresh, open water, to the ghostly anecdotes of the men lost in her freezing waters, Peter Unwin records the stories of the great Superior and the people who, over centuries, have determined to make it their home. In short, cultivating chapters, Unwin lays out the history of the lake and its lands, illuminating the stories of the copper stained greed of men who sought the Ontonagon Boulder, the strangling dread of Mishipizheu, the maddening determination of voyageurs as they packed 400 pounds across rugged earth and choppy water, and the hollow ache of loss on the greatest of inland seas. All the ferociousness of the Wolf's Head the lake embodies is laid out here, filled with extraordinary facts, humorous anecdotes, and an understanding of the people who have chosen to live along its shores. In simple, witty language that endears and engages, Peter Unwin brings Lake Superior to life like no other writer can, delivering in breathless vibrancy, the history of the Wolf's Head.
