Sky Wolf - E-book - ePub

A king in search of a queen, romance and desire, witchcraft and wolves, and a magickal yew tree rule in this wicked little fairy tale of sorcery, magick, and myth.  In a land far, far away, where sorcery has its own kingdom, the brave King of Iceleea laments finding a queen for his kingdom. One night, wind stirring the dark woods, he stumbles upon the Queen of Witches of the Underworld, Hekate, bangled in snake rings and known to make rivers scream in her presence.
The witch tempts him with a trade-a promise to issue forth a maiden of imperial qualities. When the beauty arrives riding a strange white wolf out of the deep forest, the king must keep the terms of his bargain to accept her buried past. What mysteries lie within this woman with no name who carries the scent of lusty oak leaves in her hair and a sinister scar on her back? As Hekate's shadow rides the king's mare, the king must discover his own wisdom and choose between his duplicitous queen or risk Hekate's demands to discover the true identity of his queen. Sky Wolf was originally published in Lorelei Signal, January 2023 Issue, WolfSinger Publications.

an extraordinary and original storyteller of the first rank." From Midwest Book Review. "Beautiful, Beautiful! A fast-paced highly original fairy tale. With soulful WHITE WOLVES!! So visual." -Cynthia Wetzler, author of Witchy Magic and Me, Maggie."Ms. Cappa's style has a luminescent sheen about it that carries you away, but more importantly, carries you INTO the content. This unique fairy tale is a melodic drink of something silky and warm, and will be the best short read you've had in a while.
Personally, I think it could make a compelling and dramatic stage play. PS-I'd marry the King!!" -Christa Ross, blogger at Observations From the Outside.
