Inspired by a true story.

Swift lives with his pack in the mountains until one terrible day rival wolves invade their home.  Alone and hungry, Swift must make a choice: Stay and try to eke out a desperate life on the borders of his old hunting grounds, or search for a new home.  But the journey he has to make is long and full of peril for a lone wolf.  Will Swift find the courage to survive all by himself?

Recommended for readers ages 9-12 years.
