Young Adult Fantasy
Date Published: 11/28/12
Toby has always felt like an outcast in his village, but he thought winning a game at the Summer Fair was the answer to making friends. The local boys disagreed and literally threw Toby to the wolves. Stranded in enemy territory with a broken leg, he’s offered two options by the resident werewolves; death or permanent exile from his race.
Although Toby longs to return to his family, he chooses to live. But the werewolf children torment him just like the boys and girls back home. When he fights back and discovers he can wield magic, a crime in his old kingdom, he realizes he’s safer with the werewolves than he ever was amongst his own kind. He even finds happiness and acceptance, until his real sister contacts him with her own forbidden magic.
Fearing for her safety, Toby must decide where his loyalties lie; with the family he grew up with or the werewolves who took him in when his own people discarded him?

My Review:
A hidden gem in the YA Fantasy genre. Don't judge a book by its cover. I think this novel really suffers due to the book cover, it just doesn't stand up next to other book covers. A makeover could really help this story for sure.
That being said, S.M. Pace has created a story in which the main character is very easy to feel for. He is an outcast and doesn't even understand why. I really felt for him. None of the characters in the story fell flat and they were all very multi-dimensional.
You are kept on your toes the whole way through and definitely shocked on multiple occasions.
Definitely a great YA Fantasy Read!
