Niko is a rare white eastern wolf. Snatched from his den by a hunter when barely a week old, he’s raised by Jade, a young woman. The hunter returns promising he’ll take the wolf to a sanctuary, instead, he sells Niko to a hunting preserve. Jade risks everything to rescue the wolf as trophy hunters track Niko through the shimmering beauty of the Adirondack mountains.
The deep attachment we all feel to home entwines the fates of three principal individuals: Jade, grieving the loss of her family farm, Conrad Lang, a hunting guide who could lose his ranch as it teeters on the edge of bankruptcy, and Niko raised in captivity, who finds the early trust he placed in humans threatens to become a curse. The young wolf too, longs for home - his birthplace high up on Mount Seymour. But to survive, he must learn how to be wild again.
This story is a testimony to the passion and courage of all three.
“Much of the novel is from the wolf’s point of view, but he is not anthromorphised in any way, and Westbrook has done a sterling job of representing him as he grows, determined to set his own fate. The human characters he encounters are fully realized, both the good and the bad, those wanting to help the wolf, those wanting to make money off him, and those fixated on hunting him. A thriller like no other, with a deep heart, compelling message, brilliant writing, and a deep seated love of nature in all its complications.”

AUTHOR E. M. WESTBROOK
Recommending The White Wolf to readers of animal-centered fiction, wildlife drama, rural suspense, and emotionally direct contemporary adventure, especially anyone who likes novels where human survival and animal fate are tightly twined. It will likely appeal to readers who have loved the atmospheric animal intensity of Jack London, though this book is gentler in spirit and more openly tender hearted. I could also see it landing well with readers who enjoy stories in the orbit of Nicholas Evans, where landscape, danger, and healing keep colliding. The White Wolf is not subtle in its loyalties, but that is part of its force. It asks you to care, and then earns it. Literary Titan
A wilderness adventure and voyage of discovery in the tradition of The Call of the Wild, this tense, compelling story of the bond between a woman and a rare white wolf - stolen to order and destined for a trophy hunt - will keep you reading until well into the night.

This talented author has a magical way of describing the perils and hardships encountered as Niko travels over the mountainous Adirondack terrain.
