He is called Wolf Shadow-a powerful shaman, a man of peace in a time of impending war. Risking his life and his noble mission to unite the tribes, he sweeps Fiona into his heart-awakening the reluctant, fair-skinned beauty to a forbidden passion she had sworn to resist...and a breathtaking and perilous love she is powerless to deny."
