Closing the volume is "Kitsunegari," a tale of encounters between a fox spirit and Jeremy during his time as pack leader. Armstrong's stories then focus on Jeremy's son, Clayton, as he matures into full werewolfhood. When he kills her and attempts to kill their young son, Jeremy, his father insists the boy be raised with the pack.
In "Infusion," Malcolm Danvers tracks down a Japanese sorceress who seduced him in 1946.
& Information Ctr., Atlanta Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.Īrmstrong expands her Women of the Otherworld series (following 2008's Living with the Dead) with these tales of the male werewolves of the American Pack. Highly recommended essential for any fan of the series. Through Armstrong's trademark flair for storytelling, fans learn more about Jeremy's birth in "Savage," and a lengthy novella ("Infusion") describes how Clayton joins the pack.
While fans of the series will be eager to devour the stories, those unfamiliar with "Otherworld" will be somewhat lost as to their significance. Kudos to her for so generously providing these stories, first to her fans and now as a second gift to a worthy literary cause. Armstrong is donating all proceeds from this and a planned second volume in 2010 to World Literacy of Canada. ReviewsThree of the four stories in this companion to Armstrong's "Women of the Otherworld" series (Living with the Dead) were first published as free fiction on Armstrong's web site () both as a thank you to her loyal readers and in response to reader requests for backstories of several of the key werewolf men in her novels. She lives in Ontario, Canada, with her family. Publisher: Bantamĭimensions: 10.9 x 2.5 x 17.5 centimeters (0.11 kg)Ībout the AuthorKelley Armstrong is the author of nine books of the Otherworld.
For as he grows from a wild child to a clever teen who tests his mentor at every turn, Clayton must learn not only to control his animal instincts but to navigate Pack politics-including showing his brutal archnemesis who the real Alpha is. So begins this tantalizing volume featuring three of the most intriguing members of the American Pack-a hierarchical founding family where bloodlines mean everything and each day presents a new, thrilling, and often deadly challenge. But surviving as a lone child-werewolf was more than he could manage-until Jeremy came along, taught Clayton how to straddle the human-werewolf worlds, and introduced him to the Pack. As a curious six-year-old, Clayton didn't resist the bite-he asked for it. In this collection of four tales, she gives equal time to the men who love these sexy, supernatural women-men who live on the wild side. New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong has captivated readers with her spellbinding Women of the Otherworld series.
