    In the frozen wilderness of the Yukon, a lone wolf-dog named White Fang must navigate the brutal laws of nature and the complexities of human society. Born in the wild and shaped by both savage survival and cruel treatment, White Fang learns the harsh realities of life, adapting to each challenge with intelligence and resilience. As he moves between brutal masters and kind-hearted guardians, his journey unfolds as an exploration of the thin line between savagery and civilization. Jack London’s White Fang is a gripping adventure that delves deep into the primal instincts of animals and humans alike, offering a timeless meditation on survival, loyalty, and the power of compassion. 
    This classic novel, first published in 1906, remains one of London’s most celebrated works, complementing The Call of the Wild with its reverse narrative—where a wild creature is gradually domesticated rather than a domesticated one returning to the wild. White Fang is an unforgettable tale of endurance, transformation, and the enduring bond between humans and animals.

    The #1 Bestselling series!
    
    SONG OF THE INFINITE is book #14 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! 
    
    In SONG OF THE INFINITE, the scattered heroes of the realm converge for one last stand against Queen Isolde's tyranny. Lyra, her certainty finally cracked by the consequences of her choices, faces her twin brother Kael across a battlefield where the fate of kingdoms will be decided.
    
    As Kyra rushes to save Kyle, Isolde prepares her ultimate ritual to absorb all crystal power throughout the realm. The armies of mountain, plain, and rebel giants unite, while the ultimate sacrifice is made to free Lyra from the last vestiges of shadow influence. In the final confrontation, as all paths cross and all powers converge, the twins realize what the ancients always knew but generations misunderstood – that the prophecy spoke not of opposition, but of balance.
    
    With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, KINGS AND SORCERERS is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders. 
    
    Future books in the series are also available!
