North Star - Paperback

by Amelia R. Rikstad (Author)

Seamus Norland has always been a lone wolf. Solitude had its perks, but constantly looking over his shoulder without a pack to protect him, took a toll on his soul. After years of fighting the power-hungry Ulvemordere-a nasty clan of berserkers that feed on magic-Seamus had gone numb to the plight of beings he once vowed to protect. Reduced to a common criminal, he's always on the run-from allies, from enemies, and, unfortunately, himself.

Ophelia Av'Skogen is a hermit-nothing more than a strange young lady living alone in the woods, always surrounded by woodland creatures. The tiny town she grew up in labels her a religious zealot, shunning her and her supposed culture. Little do they know, the mask she wears does more than denote what being she may worship. Ophelia has a secret-one that would get her killed should the Ulvemordere find out.

In a twist of fate, Seamus and Ophelia find refuge in each other. But when the Ulvemordere find Seamus's hiding place and Ophelia's secret is revealed, these unlikely companions are thrust into a battle that may not have a victor. Could their growing bond be the key to stopping the Ulvemordere once and for all? Or will this war end in tragedy for both sides?

Problem is, the Witch seems to enjoy this wild adventure, and the wolf quite likes her company.
