Synopsis
Track of the White Wolf follows Niall, Prince of Homana, who occupies an uneasy position between two worlds: distrusted by ordinary Homanans because of his Cheysuli blood, yet also rejected by the Cheysuli themselves because he has not yet manifested a lir-shape or bonded with a lir companion of his own. Caught between these two identities, Niall sets out across a kingdom scarred by war to find and claim the bride destiny has marked for him, a journey that carries him through territories thick with political intrigue, betrayal, and sorcery. Along the way he searches for the sense of belonging and purpose that has eluded him on both sides of his heritage.
