Nadya: The Wolf Chronicles

Growing up on the edge of the Missouri wilderness in the 1830s, Nadya knew she was not like other girls. But when she became a woman and the Change came, she discovered just how different she was. For Nadya was a shapechanger, a werewolf like her mother and father before her.
For a time, Nadya and her family kept their secret, living undisturbed by the edge of the forest - until a handsome, red-haired man taught Nadya about passion, and brought her unexpected tragedy. Fleeing her past, Nadya set out along on an arduous trek west, encountering danger, love, and thrilling adventure as she sought a place where she could live wild and free.
From her parents' first meeting in an untamed frontier town to her daring rescue of a beautiful young survivor of a lost band of pioneers and her fateful meeting with an Indian shaman who recognized her power, Nadya's story is the captivating and richly realized saga of a most remarkable woman.
