Description Promise of the Wolves (Wolf Chronicles #1) by Dorothy Hearst (Goodreads Author) 4.0 of 5 stars 4.00 · rating details · 2,292 ratings · 278 reviews What is the promise of the wolf? Never consort with humans. Never kill a human unprovoked. Never allow a mixed-blood wolf to live. At least that's what the wolves of the Wide Valley believe. Until a young wolf dares to break the rules--and forever alters the relationship between wolves and the humans who share their world. This is the story of such a wolf. Born of a forbidden mixed-blood litter and an outcast after her mother is banished, Kaala is determined to earn a place in the Swift River pack. But her world is turned upside down when she saves a human girl from drowning. Risking expulsion from their pack and exile from the Wide Valley, Kaala and her young packmates begin to hunt with the humans and thus discover the long-hidden bond between the two clans. But when war between wolves and humans threatens, Kaala learns the lies behind the wolf's promise. Lies that force her to choose between safety for herself and her friends and the survival of her pack--and perhaps of all wolf- and humankind. Set 14,000 years ago, Promise of the Wolves takes us to a land where time is counted in phases of the moon, distance is measured in wolflengths, and direction by the scent of the nearest trail. Years of research into the world of wolves combines with mythical tale-telling to present a fantastical adventure set in a world filled with lore  Like many writers, I was that incredibly nerdy kid in junior high school that everyone picked on, and the only slightly less nerdy kid in high school that not quite everyone picked on. Then I went to UC Berkeley where all the other nerdy kids were and actually got to go on dates and to parties. I majored in the always-practical English Literature, but spent much of my time in the even more practical Drama department. A couple years after graduation, I went to New York, where I was a spectacularly unsuccessful actor. Then, because my mother had the foresight to tell me to get a day job with book people, I eventually found my way to publishing, where I got to hang out with the ultimate nerdy kids, and all was right in the world. I got to edit books by and for the people who do good things in the world, so it was pretty much the best job I could’ve found. I also began studying tae kwon do, and got my blackbelt for my 40th birthday. Martial arts completely changed my life, and gave me the confidence and perseverance to, among other things, write a first novel. Much of this time, I was trying to write. I wrote first pages. A lot of first pages. They were good first pages, but I couldn’t get to the second page. Eventually I got up to 3 pages and then actually managed a few 15-page short stories, a couple of which got very nice rejection letters from magazines. Then one day, after about ten years of trying to be a writer, I started writing about wolves—and then I couldn’t shut up. And here’s the really cool thing: when I began to write Promise of the Wolves, I realized that I had actually already started writing it ten years before—on one of those first pages I could never finish.

I now live and write in Berkeley, California, which DHL apparently considers to be a “remote location.” There’s not quite as much delivery food as in San Francisco or Manhattan, but there are a lot of trees, and many, many dogs.
