Teaser Tuesday #4: Star wolf Kathryn Lasky

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. 

A great cold has seized the Beyond. The warmth of summer, the smell of sweet grass and the great caribou migrations are distant memories. Now the wolves know only ice, dark, snow and endless cold. The order that kept the wolf clans strong for thousands of years has broken down completely.

The wolves have only one chance for survival. They must find their way to a new land, a land of warmth and summer. But the journey will take them over a frozen sea and through thousands of miles of perilous territory. Will the wolves trust young Faolan to lead them? 

Teaser: 
Rags had seen many awful thing sin his life in the Outermost, but for the first time, he was truly frightened. As he watched the mad wolf bellow at the moon, it was as if a trickle of light had seeped into his head and illuminated his brain. He will lead us to our death because of his vengeance. He is as blind as an old wolf with the milk-eye sickness, this one. As dumb a brute as a musk ox.
