SCARLET & THE WHITE WOLF

SCARLET & THE WHITE WOLF 
Kirby Crow

Scarlet of Lysia is an honest peddler, a young merchant travelling the wild, undefended roads to support his aging parents. Liall, called the Wolf of Omara, is the handsome, world-weary chieftain of a tribe of bandits blocking a mountain road that Scarlet needs to cross. When Liall jokingly demands a carnal toll for the privilege, Scarlet refuses and an inventive battle of wills ensues, with disastrous results. Scarlet is convinced that Liall is a worthless, immoral rogue, but when the hostile countryside explodes into violence and Liall unexpectedly fights to save the lives of Scarlet’s family, Scarlet is forced to admit that Liall is not the worst ally he could have, but what price will proud Scarlet ultimately have to pay for Liall’s friendship?
