Blood and Wolf — S.M. Gaither

Eleanor McLelland is the daughter of a legend among wolves -- and the carrier of a curse that gives her the power to rip the world apart.

The two things don't combine to create the most peaceful of existences.

Still, for seventeen years, Elle has tried to keep the peace. She's suppressed her magic and her wolf shifter abilities in an attempt to keep that curse under control, trading fangs and fire for manmade weapons instead.

But you can only keep a wolf caged for so long.

And once it accidentally escapes, Elle and her dangerous magic become the target of a coven of sorcerers hell-bent on using her to break down the barrier that protects Earth from the dangerous creatures of parallel worlds.

Ostracized from most of her own pack and on the run, Elle becomes determined to prove herself a savior instead of a destroyer once and for all -- by finding a way to make the walls between those worlds permanent.

Her greatest potential ally? A sorcerer who's an even bigger outcast than she is. One as beautiful and as deadly as any sword in Elle's extensive collection of them. One with secrets, and powerful illusion magic that makes even what should be obvious truths seem muddled.

Can the two of them forge something real enough to save the world together? Or are they destined to tear it apart?
