About the Book

Vale makes her debut with this fantasy paranormal romance. Silver Nilsdottir is at the bottom of her Pack's social order, with little chance for a decent mate and a better life.

Book Synopsis

She was never meant to lead. But she might be the only one left who can save them.

In the Great North Pack, strength is law and survival depends on obedience. Silver Nilsdottir, small and scarred by a limp, has always been the quiet one--an outcast in a world ruled by ritual and instinct. But when a wounded outsider stumbles into their territory, Silver makes a choice that could cost her everything.

Tiberius Leveraux is human, injured, and hiding dangerous secrets. Helping him breaks the oldest laws of the Pack. But something wild connects them, something deeper than logic or loyalty. And as the full moon rises--when wolves surrender to their primal selves--their bond threatens to unravel centuries of order.

A slow-burn, emotionally charged shifter fantasy romance, The Last Wolf is perfect for fans of Anne Bishop's The Others and Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson. It delivers a fierce, unforgettable heroine, lush worldbuilding, and a love story forged in silence, strength, and sacrifice.

Praised by Booklist, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and Library Journal, this critically acclaimed debut will leave you breathless.

Enter the territory of the Great North Pack--where the wild is sacred, loyalty is tested, and not all wolves walk on four legs.
