Long ago, the inhabitants of the deep woods were given a choice.The choice was difficult. They could follow the Silver Wolf and his lord, the Lightmaker, or join the secretive forces of the Dark Council. After a desperate series of battles that rage across a harsh, frozen wilderness, the Dark Council is on the threshold of eternal victory…and the servants of the Lightmaker are devastatingly reduced to their last flicker of hope. In the final encounter, the struggle between good and evil is more than strength against strength. More than wit against wit. It is a path of endurance won through suffering…of peace won through pain.
This is the first book by Huggins that I have ever read, and the first that he ever published. I was aware that his others are usually action packed and probably not my ‘cup of tea’, but I was also aware that this first one was quite different from his later ones.
I was a bit wary about reading a story about wolves (how could I take it seriously), but as soon as I started this book (yesterday) I was unable to put it down.
Huggins writes a fantastic story that follows the journey of a silver wolf named Aramus. Written almost poetically, yet with non-stop action and suspense, A Wolf Story will keep guys and girls, young and old on the edge of their seats.
I found my faith surge as I read this book, the main theme being the choice to do what is right. What an amazing book… one I would recommend to anyone and everyone.
I will leave you with a segment from the book…
“Now, my friends, is the hour of darkness. Remember, in times to come, that your greatest battles will always be fought in the night, when you feel cold, afraid, and alone. But you are never alone. You will have little hope for victory, but you must never surrender your hope. Endure the struggle, endure it all to the end. Because no night will last forever. Always the morning comes. So keep your balance. All of life comes back to this: you must stand by faith, despite your suffering, despite your pain. Endure until there is nothing left to endure. And you will overcome, in the end.”

It was a while ago that I read this book. I read Rora before it, and i seem to remember that A Wolf Story was almost the animal parallel of Rora…but like I say it was a wee while ago. You do tend to forget they are animals at times, good book.
loving that comment at the end…
