Oswyn, Emerick's uncle, has convinced the knights of Faintree that Emerick is dead, making Oswyn the lord of Faintree--and leaving him free to pin all manner of crimes on the Mad Wolf's war-band while he continues to hunt them. But Drest's father, the Mad Wolf of the North, is now fully committed to Emerick's cause, and when the war-band learns that Oswyn has left Faintree practically defenseless, their strategic options suddenly open up. But in the end, it may be Drest's smarts, compassion, and bravery--not her father's tactics--that get Emerick to his rightful home. A home that might have space for the Madwolf's war-band, Drest, and Tig.
