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.
