The Mad Wolf's Daughter
The Mad Wolf's Daughter | Diane Magras
5 posts | 9 read | 7 to read
A Scottish medieval adventure about the youngest in a war-band who must free her family from a castle prison after knights attack her home--with all the excitement of Ranger's Apprentice and perfect for fans of heroines like Alanna from The Song of the Lioness series. One dark night, Drest's sheltered life on a remote Scottish headland is shattered when invading knights capture her family, but leave Drest behind. Her father, the Mad Wolf of the North, and her beloved brothers are a fearsome war-band, but now Drest is the only one who can save them. So she starts off on a wild rescue attempt, taking a wounded invader along as a hostage. Hunted by a bandit with a dark link to her family's past, aided by a witch whom she rescues from the stake, Drest travels through unwelcoming villages, desolate forests, and haunted towns. Every time she faces a challenge, her five brothers speak to her in her mind about courage and her role in the war-band. But on her journey, Drest learns that the war-band is legendary for terrorizing the land. If she frees them, they'll not hesitate to hurt the gentle knight who's become her friend. Drest thought that all she wanted was her family back; now she has to wonder what their freedom would really mean. Is she her father's daughter or is it time to become her own legend?

After an exhausting Halloween (pushing kiddo-as-Hermione around in her wheelchair was a serious workout!), November started in its own kind of flurry. I started three books today - tagged for #Roll100, and Jane Austen‘s Letters and The Heiress for #PemberLittens - and had to go to the pharmacy for kiddo‘s oral antibiotics, because she finishes the IV stuff tonight and gets her line removed tomorrow!

batsy Much ❤️ to you and the kiddo. Yay for being able to progress to the oral antibiotics. 1y
Ruthiella Glad your daughter is on the mend. Kudos to you for trick or treating with her! 👍 1y

This one is a fun page-turner. It took me a little bit to get into the Scottish lads and lass and keep the characters straight, but the action started right away. I liked the characters and struggled through their emotions right along with them on their journey. Drest is so brave and grows a lot over her journey of six days. Tig is just plain nice and I really do like Emerick. Lots of good lessons. I‘m ready for the sequel. 👍🏼

This was a decent book! I read it in one sitting and it entranced me. I loved the setting and the way the characters were written. The messages in the book are powerful and filled me with inspiration. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a Medieval setting! Not one of my favorites, but still good.

I finished listening to this last night and ended up loving the story. It was action packed the entire time, although the ending did feel a bit rushed. John Flanagan's Rangers Apprentice series is absurdly popular in my library, so I'll be recommending this to all those kids. #middlegrademarch #book3 @megnews @sblbooks

Started this audiobook while working this morning. I was a little skeptical of a male narrator when the main character is a girl, but his brogue during all the dialogue is way fun, so I‘ll overlook it. #middlegrademarch @megnews @sblbooks

megnews On audio, a narrator can really make or break a book. 4y
