About the book: 2019 / A true leader is always the strongest and most skilled in the pack. However, in the Cursed Forest, it is not enough to be the strongest to have the right to give orders. This requires a special gift and a special will, which the little Hound possesses in full. That is why changelings and even irreconcilable Khmers have bowed their heads before her for many centuries. Stregon and his brothers-in-arms also managed to feel the power of the new leader. But if the animals preferred to choose submission, then the Hound offered them, the descendants of the Guardians, a different path. Perhaps more tortuous, difficult, sometimes deadly... but that’s why she’s a leader, to see and understand much more than is given to a mere mortal.
