She came to attend her sister's wedding. He came to win her back. Neither of them expected the wolves.
She has never been built for retreat... Calysta Daniels' plan is to attend her sister's wedding and leave shortly after. She did not plan for a long-lost great-aunt with a locked safe and a dangerous secret. She certainly did not plan to fall in love - again - with someone whose world might be too large and too dangerous for her to survive. When the wolves come for him, she discovers that her calling and his world may have been the same battle all this time.
His intent is to pursue her, not become her wolf... Brendan Ashthorn has spent three years becoming someone worthy of Calysta's world. What he didn't plan for was a string of murders that would make him the most compelling villain in a story he didn't write. Now he must protect the woman he loves, clear his name, and reckon with the question at the heart of every fairy tale: who, exactly, is the wolf?
As her hometown's darkest secrets surface, Brendan and Calysta must decide whether their love is strong enough to survive a world that keeps trying to turn him into a monster.
An Island of Wolves is the second novel in Joanna Alonzo's The Sacred & the Scarred series - a contemporary Christian retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with the heart of a romance, the bones of a thriller, and a faith that fuels love and threatens wolves. If you love stories where the danger is real, the love is hard-won, and grace arrives in unexpected places, this is the book for you.
