In Wolf-Speaker, Diane must master her wild magic to save both animals and humans from the dangers posed by greedy rulers in Dunlath Valley.
In Wolf-Speaker, the enchanting world of magic and adventure unfolds as Diane, a young girl with the extraordinary ability to communicate with animals, finds herself in a perilous situation. When she receives a call for help from a pack of wolves, her journey leads her to the breathtaking yet dangerous Dunlath Valley. Accompanied by her mentor, the powerful mage Numair, Diane quickly realizes that the threats extend beyond just her animal friends; the very lives of the people in the valley are at stake as well.
As Diane navigates the complexities of her wild magic, she discovers that the rulers of Dunlath are intent on exploiting the land's resources. The recent discovery of black opals ignites their greed, prompting them to mine the precious stones at any cost. This reckless ambition not only endangers the delicate ecosystem but also risks the lives of the workers laboring in the mines. Faced with such dire circumstances, Diane must harness her magical abilities to protect both her animal companions and the human inhabitants of the valley.
Wolf-Speaker is a tale of courage, friendship, and the fight to preserve the balance of nature. As Diane confronts the challenges ahead, she learns valuable lessons about responsibility and the importance of standing up for those who cannot defend themselves. This second installment in The Immortals series captivates readers with its rich storytelling and vivid portrayal of a world where magic and reality intertwine.
