The second story of the Wolf Tower sequence. Abducted from her wedding to Argul, chief of the Hulta, Claidi finds herself crossing a weather-mad ocean to a strange land, menaced by giant flowers, mysterious animals, and the Rise - a great cliff topped by a mansion.

Is she lost to Argul for ever? And who is Venn, cruel, arrogant, but also lonely, in pain. So many menacing secrets and upsetting dilemmas, so much for passionate Claidi to pit her wits against ...

Media Reviews
LAW OF THE WOLF TOWER: A feast for fans of fantasy. For those long winter nights by the fire, this will make compulsive reading. The Bookseller Tanith Lee restores one's faith in fiction as the expression of imagination and original thought. The Guardian PIRATICA: On recent evidence, pirate stories look like being the next big thing. If so, may they all be as much fun as this one, by the Cat's Elbows! Jan Mark, The Guardian A glorious roustabout of a tale, full of yummy set pieces and terrific adventures, unbelievable in a most satisfying way. The language is rip-roaring or glides like a seagull, as needed. And the thrilling denouement is romantic as heck. Kirkus Review: Starred a rollicking read. Road adventure, sea voyage and treasure hunt in one. Irish Times ... a wonderfully rumbustious fantasy that is as clever as it is entertaining. The Independent
