\nStarred Review<\/p>\n

This book bills itself as a \u201cCompanion\u201d to The Mad Wolf\u2019s Daughter<\/a>,<\/em> suggesting you can read them in any order, but I think you\u2019ll be better off reading the first book first \u2013 to find out how the young daughter of the war lord known as the Mad Wolf became the best friend of the lord of a castle who\u2019s on the run and wounded.<\/p>\n

The book is set in medieval Scotland. Drest rescued her father and brothers from the castle dungeon in the last book, but it turned out that Emerick\u2019s uncle wants him dead, so he escaped the castle with them, still without having his wounds tended.<\/p>\n

Drest\u2019s father thinks it\u2019s time for them to take care of Drest, but she learned in the last book that she can take care of herself. And Emerick doesn\u2019t trust anyone to guard him as he trusts Drest.<\/p>\n

But Emerick\u2019s uncle has put a price on Drest\u2019s head, so anyone who finds her will kill her. On top of that, he\u2019s coming to look for her, as well as Emerick. If Emerick dies, he will be lord of the castle. Can Drest protect Emerick and help him find healing while staying alive herself? <\/p>\n

This is another rollicking adventure with a girl who is deservedly a legend.<\/p>\n
