  Elnora Comstock walks to high school in clothes the town laughs at and pays her own fees by selling moths she catches in the swamp — while her mother, widowed on the night she was born, cannot look at her without seeing the loss. Stratton-Porter was a field naturalist and photographer before she was a novelist, and the Limberlost she wrote about was being drained even as the book sold half a million copies. The moths are real, the mother thaws late, and the swamp does not survive. Fifty-seven plates of marsh light and rural labor, from George Inness to Henry Ossawa Tanner, keep the naturalist's world of the novel in view.

  Rules aren’t only meant to be broken. They’re meant to be changed. 
  Saving the werewolf species from extinction isn’t as easy as the packs of Magaelorum thought. The She-Wolf Games might have united packs in all the territories, but the she-wolf alpha leaders are crazy to think I’ll join their ranks to help continue four—wait, five—powerful bloodlines. 
  If only that was the most of my worries. 
  A war brews around us as witches and lycans team up against us. Breaking the magical barrier protecting our species from the rest of Magaelorum will be our end. It doesn’t help that the pack leaders refuse to see past their mating games. 
  But I do. I’m the only she-wolf to have lived in the Mortal World outside our sanctuary. I know what we must fight for. 
  Now, the She-Wolf Games have turned into a game of picking the men who will best help me rise. The men who understand it’s more than anticipating my upcoming season. 
  Welcome to the Wolf-Mate Trials, where only those worthy of me will survive.
