Grace of a Wolf Novel

A human woman finds herself in the last place she should be: the annual Mate Hunt, a shifter event where newly adult wolves from multiple packs seek their fated or chosen mates. The ritual begins with females released into the woods an hour before sunset, followed by males who hunt them down by scent. It's a brutal affair, unsuitable for the faint of heart—and especially dangerous for someone who cannot shift. Yet here she is, running through the forest on bleeding feet with freezing lungs, pursued by an entire pack of wolves whose howls fuel their hunting frenzy. She has no explanation for why she's participating in this barbaric hunt, only the desperate reality of her situation. What awaits her in these woods remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: she is in grave danger. Content warning: R18. Contains dark themes including murder, attempted murder, multiple deaths, betrayal, mild sociopathy, and a morally questionable male lead.
