Synopsis

Den of Wolves, the third book in the Blackthorn & Grim series, splits its two protagonists between separate commitments. Blackthorn agrees to help the princess of Dalriada care for a troubled young girl at court, while Grim travels to the remote settlement of Wolf Glen to assist a wealthy man with restoration work on his property. Grim soon senses that Wolf Glen is not what it appears, a place harboring dangerous secrets beneath its surface, while back at court Blackthorn is confronted by her sworn enemy, whose reappearance reopens old wounds and rekindles her long-held desire for revenge. Facing these two separate threats at once, the pair must decide whether to face their troubles together or apart.
