Firekeeper Saga

	Through Wolf's Eyes Firekeeper only vaguely remembers a time that she didn't live with her"family," a pack of "royal wolves" -bigger, stronger, and smarter than normal wolves. Now her pack leaders are sending her back to live among the humans, as they promised her mother years ago. Some of the humans think she may be the lost heir to their throne. This could be good - and it could be very, very dangerous. In the months to come, learning to behave like a human will turn out to be more complicated than she'd ever imagined. But though human ways might be stranger than anything found in the forest, the infighting in the human's pack is nothing Firekeeper hasn't seen before. That, she understands just fine. She's not your standard-issue princess - and this is not your standard-issue fairy tale.
	Wolf's Head, Wolf's Heart Raised by intelligent, language-using wolves, brought back to human society at the court of Hawk Haven, youn Firekeeper has had to learn to cope with humans and their complexities...and discovers that, for someone raised in a wolf pack, the politics of a royal court are neither complex nor wholly unfamiliar. Now Hawk Haven and Bright Bay are unifying, threatening the balance of power in neighboring lands. New intrigues abound. The former rulers of Bright Bay, it appears, were hoarding a collection of forbidden magical artifacts...which Queen Gustin took with her when she abdicated, intending to use them to regain power. Melina Shield, a conniving, power-hungry noblewoman, is scheming to obtain them, and she's older, smarter, and more devious than the Queen. And the ancient and even-more-devious civil service of neighboring New Kelvin would like to get their hands on those artifacts as well... All of which will make life very hard for Firekeeper. Because the Powers of the World have decided whose job it is to obtain these much-contended-for magical artifacts: Hers.
	The Dragon of Despair Raised far from humans by intelligent, language-using wolves, then brought back to the court of Hawk Haven, young Firekeeper has had to learn to cope with human society. And as it turns out, for one raised amidst intelligent social carnivores, the intrigues of the human pack aren't all that unfamiliar. Now Melina Shield, the beautiful, unscrupulous, and thoroughly discredited sorceress whose power-hungry intrigues have already made so much trouble for Firekeeper, is once again using her power to cloud men's minds. She has induced the ruler of New Kelvin to marry her. This is bad news all around. It's particularly bad news for Firekeeper. Melina has never abandoned her schemes to gain power through the use of forbidden ancient sorcery. And the leaders of the royal beasts who watch over this world have given Firekeeper - and her wolf campanion, Blind Seer - the responsiblity of stopping her.
	Wolf Captured Jane Lindskold's Through Wolf's Eyes; Wolf's Head, Wolf's Heart; and The Dragon of Despair told the story of Firekeeper, the young girl raised by sentient, language-using wolves who is then plunged back into human society, where her training as a pack animal stands her in good stead amidst political and dynastic intrigues. Now, in Wolf Captured, the focus returns to Firekeeper and her wolf companion Blind Seer, as they find themselves kidnapped and dragged overseas, and forced to maneuver for their lives in an unfamiliar and dangerous new society. The Liglimoshti worship animals and portents, which rule their lives. And the Liglimoshti are aware, as the other countries are not, that Royal animals like Truth and Blind Seer exist, are intelligent, and can speak to each other. They've kidnapped Firekeeper and Blind Seer because they've never before heard of a human who could talk to animals. They want to see what Firekeeper can do. They want her to teach them how to do it. Firekeeper's more than willing to talk to the animals there. But she fears that Liglim's Royal animals are being held in polite and unobtrusive bondage. She wants to find out the truth -- and, if necessary, free them...
