Book Description
The complete savage, steamy, pulse-pounding Wolves of New York series is now available in one collection! WOLF KING Maxim Thorn is a ruthless Alpha, a mobster king who rules his pack with an iron fist. He’s also my only hope. As a shifter from the wrong side of the tracks who’s just been rejected by my abusive fated mate, I don’t have a lot of options in this city. In exchange for one month of protection from my ex and his friends, I promise to give Maxim what he wants—me. WOLF PAWN Maxim’s pack is under siege. His enemies will stop at nothing to lay claim to everything he holds dear. And thanks to an ancient prophecy, half the shifter world believes being mated to me (or my long-lost sister) is the key to unlimited power. That’s the other thing—the sister I haven’t seen in years? She’s alive, and out to destroy Maxim. WOLF QUEEN The shifter world is running out of time…and so am I. Maxim Thorn is a dangerous—even deadly—man who betrayed my trust and the love growing between us. But compared to his brother, Bane, my alpha kingpin is a freaking teddy bear. It’s looking like there’s no way out when an unlikely ally emerges, promising to help me subvert the dark prophecy that has me in its crosshairs. All I’ll have to sacrifice is a piece of my soul and the man who would have been my fated mate… WOLF MATE Maxim proved he would give his life to defend mine. I proved I would kill to keep him by my side. But is the bloody devotion of a united king and queen enough to win this war? Or will we lose everything we hold dear—our hope, our freedom, and maybe even…each other. (This is the final book in the series. No cliffhanger.)

FORD: The woman I love sacrificed herself and rose from the ashes with no memory of what we were to each other. She doesn’t remember how hard she fought to resist our connection. She doesn’t remember our first kiss or our last or what she said to me just seconds before her phoenix form caught fire. Now, I'm on the run with a stranger with a cheery disposition that's nothing like the Juliet I knew. This Juliet is certain we can come out on top, no matter how bleak the odds. This Juliet enjoys flirting with me and suggests we share a bed on our way to get help from the Wolf King of New York. I should be happy that the woman I want finally wants me back, but all I can think about is how much I miss my Juliet. I’d kill to have her glare at me the way she used or see her lips curve in one of her grudging smiles. But there isn’t time to grieve what’s been lost. We have to take down Hammer Zion before it’s too late, before the man who nearly killed us both comes out on top, once and for all. This book is part of a serial romance and should be read after books one and two. Savage Prince is a dark romance that ends in a cliffhanger.

Wolves and the Wolf Myth in American Literature
Author: S.K. Robisch
Publisher: University of Nevada Press
ISBN: 087417774X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 685
Book Description
The wolf is one of the most widely distributed canid species, historically ranging throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere. For millennia, it has also been one of the most pervasive images in human mythology, art, and psychology. Wolves and the Wolf Myth in American Literature examines the wolf’s importance as a figure in literature from the perspectives of both the animal’s physical reality and the ways in which writers imagine and portray it. Author S. K. Robisch examines more than two hundred texts written in North America about wolves or including them as central figures. From this foundation, he demonstrates the wolf’s role as an archetype in the collective unconscious, its importance in our national culture, and its ecological value. Robisch takes a multidisciplinary approach to his study, employing a broad range of sources: myths and legends from around the world; symbology; classic and popular literature; films; the work of scientists in a number of disciplines; human psychology; and field work conducted by himself and others. By combining the fundamentals of scientific study with close readings of wide-ranging literary texts, Robisch astutely analyzes the correlation between actual, living wolves and their representation on the page and in the human mind. He also considers the relationship between literary art and the natural world, and argues for a new approach to literary study, an ecocriticism that moves beyond anthropocentrism to examine the complicated relationship between humans and nature.

The Return of the Mexican Gray Wolf
Author: Bobbie Holaday
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 0816536651
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The return of the Mexican gray wolf to Arizona's Blue Range in 1998 marked more than a victory for an endangered species. Long hated by ranchers, the gray wolf had been hunted to the brink of extinction until one woman took on the challenge of restoring it to its natural habitat. Inspired by the plight of the Mexican gray wolf, retiree Bobbie Holaday formed the citizens advocacy group Preserve Arizona's Wolves (P.A.WS.) in 1987 and embarked on a crusade to raise public awareness. She soon found herself in the center of a firestorm of controversy, with environmentalists taking sides against ranchers and neighbors against neighbors. This book tells her story for the first time, documenting her eleven-year effort to bring the gray wolf back to the Blue. As Holaday quickly learned, ranchers exerted considerable control over the state legislature, and politicians in turn controlled decisions made by wildlife agencies. Even though the wolf had been listed as endangered since 1976, opposition to it was so strong that the Arizona Game and Fish Department had been unable to launch a recovery program. In The Return of the Mexican Gray Wolf, Holaday describes first-hand the tactics she and other ordinary citizens on the Mexican Wolf Recovery Team adopted to confront these obstacles. Enhanced with more than 40 photographs—32 in color—her account chronicles both the triumphs of reintroduction and the heartbreaking tragedies the wolves encountered during early phases. Thanks to Holaday's perseverance, eleven wolves were released into the wild in 1998, and the Blue Range once again echoed with their howls. Her tenacity was an inspiration to all those she enlisted in the cause, and her story is a virtual primer for conservation activists on mobilizing at the grassroots level. The Return of the Mexican Gray Wolf shows that one person can make a difference in a seemingly hopeless cause and will engage all readers concerned with the preservation of wildlife. All royalties go to the Mexican Wolf Trust Fund administered by the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

Even though the wolf had been listed as endangered since 1976, opposition to it was so strong that the Arizona Game and Fish Department had been unable to launch a recovery program. In The Return of the Mexican Gray Wolf, Holaday describes first-hand the tactics she and other ordinary citizens on the Mexican Wolf Recovery Team adopted to confront these obstacles. Enhanced with more than 40 photographs—32 in color—her account chronicles both the triumphs of reintroduction and the heartbreaking tragedies the wolves encountered during early phases. Thanks to Holaday's perseverance, eleven wolves were released into the wild in 1998, and the Blue Range once again echoed with their howls. Her tenacity was an inspiration to all those she enlisted in the cause, and her story is a virtual primer for conservation activists on mobilizing at the grassroots level. The Return of the Mexican Gray Wolf shows that one person can make a difference in a seemingly hopeless cause and will engage all readers concerned with the preservation of wildlife. All royalties go to the Mexican Wolf Trust Fund administered by the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
