AmazonFrom the Book- "Dark blood pooled in the snow, a growing halo of crimson about the trap. The wolf growled at him, looked ready to attack, and eyed the long knife in Daroth’s hand. Under any other circumstance, he was sure he would already be dead. There was no getting close and no turning back. He couldn’t risk the creature breaking loose and coming after them.
