What's a werewolf to do when tattoos dole out dating advice? Once, I blindly followed the orders of a shadowy Council. No more. These days I'm on a quest with my estranged sister to free kidnapped shifter children before they're taught to disdain their own kind. Trouble is, the frozen tattoos from my broken mate bond keep interfering, trying to once again intertwine my fate with that of the alpha protector Orion. Worse, a matching mark has appeared on my sister, irrationally linking her to a dangerously charming stranger we rescued along the way. As manipulative Old Magic threatens to override our free will, can we save the experimented-upon youngsters? Or will compulsions from our mystical tattoos draw us back into the clutches of enemies we worked so hard to leave behind? The second book in the swashbuckling, slow-burn Rune Wolf series is full of fated mates refusing to be corralled by ancient prophecies, a fish out of water discovering found family, and lots and lots of werewolves.
