Kele is the daughter of her tribes Alpha. They are considered wild wolves because they live and hunt as wolves are meant to.
In their world there are 'tamed' wolves that live in the cities with the vampires, but they chose to live free.
As Kele is facing the dilemma of being mated to a man she does not know, her true love rushes to fight for her. As Peder runs to claims Kele for himself, Slavers grab him and place him in a cage. Little does Kele know the same slavers are on their way to her mating ceremony.
Kele, and the man she was supposed to mate are taken and placed with Peder. Upon finding out about this crime the vampire overlord and Ahote a member of Kele's pack go in search of the kidnapped people.
The trials and tribulations of the pack members taken as slaves are sad to read, but watching the growth of the characters as they fight to survive is fascinating.
Annie Nicholas has created a world where no humans exist and vampires act as the Europeans of the old did when they came over to the Americas. Conquering and enslaving wolves they could not convert to their "civilized' ways.
SCENT OF VALOR is book two in the Chronicles of Eorthe series by Annie Nicholas. This is a good story and holds its own as a standalone. I just joined the series, but see a great future for these characters. Benic the vampire Lord has a few good stories in him. Not to mention all the other characters have so much more to tell us. Get started on this series as soon as you can you won't want to miss reading what Annie Nicholas has to tell us in SCENT OF VALOR and the remainder of the Chronicles of Eorthe series.
Courage blooms in the meekest of hearts.
Chronicles of Eorthe, Book 2
After spending twenty years trapped in her civil body,
Kele
can finally shift into feral form. By tooth and claw,
sheβs
determined to climb the Payami pack hierarchy.
Her parents plan to mate her with a hunter from a rival
pack, but her heartβs already been stolen by the most
unsuitable wolf possibleβPeder, an omega male. Sheβd
gladly
give him her body except heβs disappeared from her life.
Maybe into the thieving arms of another female.
Peder has spent every moment of their forced separation
training to be a hunter. When he hears of her arranged
marriage, he fears heβs waited too long to trespass back
onto Payami lands to fight for her handβbut he damned well
isnβt giving up.
On his journey to confront Kele, Peder is attacked and
wakes
in a cage, helpless as a band of vampires attack Keleβs
mating party. Separated by social standing, thrown
together
by tragedy, they must work together to survive. And find
out
if their attraction is merely puppy love, or a bond thatβs
stronger than time.
Warning: This book contains an omega male whoβs done
submitting and a hunter female who isnβt used to needing
anyone to come to her rescue. Violence ensues, not for the
faint of heart.
