Don't Call the Wolf

Fans of Leigh Bardugo
and Holly Black will devour this gorgeously imagined fantasy about a dark
forest besieged by monsters—and the wild queen who has sworn to drive them
out. 

A fierce young queen, neither human nor lynx, who fights to
protect a forest humans have long abandoned.

An exhausted young soldier, last of his name, who searches
for the brother who disappeared beneath those trees without a trace.

A Golden Dragon, fearsome and vengeful, whose wingbeats
haunt their nightmares and their steps.

When these three paths cross at the fringes of a war between
monsters and men, shapeshifter queen and reluctant hero strike a deal that may
finally turn the tide against the rising hordes of darkness. Ren will help
Lukasz find his brother…if Lukasz promises to slay the Dragon.

But promises are all too easily broken.

This Eastern European
fantasy debut, inspired by the Polish fairy tale "The Glass Mountain," will take
you on a twisting journey full of creeping tension, simmering romance, and haunting
folklore—perfect for readers who loved An
Enchantment of Ravens and The Hazel
Wood.
