Magic Rises on Books On Track

Update: 1 Sept 2018:

Just as awesome the second time around.

Kate and Curran are on a trip to Europe, where they are supposed to keep Desandra, a pregnant wolf shifter safe and mediate between three disputing shifter clans in exchange for panacea, a drug that keeps children from going loup.

They know they are heading into a trap, but the lure is too much to resist, especially considering (view spoiler) ...more
