Isolde Mondwald has spent five years hiding her wolf. Her father calls her a runt and keeps her locked away, and she has let him, because a secret like hers can get a princess killed. Then Alpha Eisenfang’s army takes the castle and chains three hundred women and children in the throne room. Isolde steps forward and offers herself in their place. She is gagged, bound, and carried off into the snow by the men who beheaded her guards. Hours later, her chains melt. A dragon crosses the moon, a ring of golden fire closes around her, and the flames feel like a warm bath. Isolde runs with a pack on her heels and a glowing white wolf that cannot hide. Her half brother is tracking her scent through her own territory. Her father has been lying to her about something. And the stranger who catches her in the dark smells like pine and something far more dangerous. Dragonfire should burn. Isolde needs to find out why it doesn’t before someone else does. Shorter version (back cover or blurb): Everyone thinks Isolde Mondwald is a runt. She has been hiding a wolf for five years. When Alpha Eisenfang conquers her kingdom, the crown princess trades herself for three hundred prisoners. Then a dragon crosses the moon, her chains melt, and dragonfire wraps around her without leaving a mark. Isolde Mondwald has spent five years hiding her wolf.
