The Wolf's Name
When Matilda's brother Nathaniel dies, she's convinced it's murder, and she won't be satisfied until she brings his killer to justice. But her family is still reeling from old wounds. Her mother's death weighs heavily, and her father's decision to abandon his family and join the Fenians—rebels against the English rule of Canada—has brought them nothing but shame. Matilda's siblings want her to let their brother go, and the man she thinks she might love, once her brother's best friend, wants her to look to the future. Unwilling to let go, either of her brother or their family farm, Matilda searches out clues that will support her case against the neighbor who hates them. When she saves the life of the one person who might have answers, he won't say a word to her—because he believes he's a wolf. As she tries to bring back his humanity and her attachment to him grows, she realizes that there is more at work than a common murder or a rebellion. Nathaniel was working with strange powers, and in order to find the truth, Matilda may have to master them…or lose everything. Set in western Canada during the 1880s, The Wolf's Name is a tale of the perils of revenge—and the dangers of magic.
Born and raised in Canadian cowboy territory, Raelyn Teague started telling stories before she knew her alphabet. While at university, she turned her back on her love of writing in pursuit of a shinier, more "practical" career until she learned having her soul slowly rot away wasn't more practical after all. Luckily, writing (mostly) welcomed her back. An artist and martial artist, when she isn't reading or working on her latest novel, she's doodling the characters from her favourite video games or reminding her cat she already fed him.
