The Wolf by Jean Johnson

Wolfer knows he is next in line to fulfill his part of the prophecy. Years ago, he fell in love with a neighbor girl named Alys. He still wears a braid of her hair around his wrist. However, the two have been denied contact since the brothers were banished to Nightfall Island. 

Alys has been abused by her uncle for years. He forces her to take part in his evil spells against the Sons of Destiny. However, Alys has never given up her dream of reuniting with Wolfer. Wolfer's youngest brother has secretly kept in contact with her. When the time is right, he helps her escape her cruel uncle and make her way to Nightfall. 

Wolfer and Alys are instantly attracted to one another. Neither has forgotten their past connection. Alys is afraid to admit that she took part in her uncle's schemes against Wolfer and his brothers. When the truth comes out, she fears it will end Wolfer's love for her. However, with her uncle becoming an even bigger threat to the brothers, Alys knows she must confess and help stop his evil plan to kill Wolfer and his family. 


A good story filled with a whole host of supernatural creatures, from pookrahs to wyr-wracks, while creating a fascinating storyline and a steamy romance.
