Maggie Rapier Wolftamer

Legends don't die. Saoirse and Faolan's quest for freedom turns into a battle for the fate of their entire world, in this aching and lush conclusion to the Magpie and the Wolf duology. Faolan has escaped death. Twice. After a lifetime chasing freedom and legends, he was finally on the brink of becoming one himself when it all went up in flames. Stranded on the Isle of Lost Souls, bound by an oath he did not make, Faolan is plagued by dreams of drowning and a past he swore never to revisit. The pirate in him wants nothing more than to raise hell and run away--but with no ship, and no way to untether his wife, Saoirse, from the land she's pledged herself to, Faolan is trapped. And everyone knows who tamed the Wolf. When their sinister rival King Maccus unveils an ancient godly relic--one with the power to unbalance their entire world--Faolan knows the game has changed. There's only one person who can hunt down the missing relics before Maccus can, and the Wolf of the Wild will do anything to protect his wife. Even if that means leaving her behind.
