Once a royal Breton knight, Sir Cardin is now infamously known as Basati, the Basque Wolf. Savage and sullen, he drowns his guilt in raucous taverns, accruing enormous debt and acquiring vengeful enemies.

Ulla, widowed daughter of a Viking chieftain, is a skilled archer who lives as a recluse in a secluded woodland cottage. Rendered mute by trauma, she avoids humans, preferring the company of her wild wolf and falcon as she hunts in the Forest of Brocéliande.

When his mother’s dying wish calls Basati home, he finally meets the son he abandoned at birth and Ulla, the enigmatic priestess who is teaching the boy to hunt. As the holidays approach, Basati finds himself smitten with the beguiling beauty as he bonds with his once forsaken child.

But past enemies plot against him, and Basati is ensnared in darkness.

Can music lure the savage wolf into the light of love?

5 out of 5

This was a beautiful story of love, loss, healing, and new beginnings, that will keep you captivated from start to finish. The past comes to life right before your eyes, and you can feel the inner conflict and emotions that Cardin and Ulla go through as the story progresses. Of course, there’s more than just their inner pain to contend with, and outside forces are working against them. It’s just so easy to get wrapped up in the story and characters, because it feels like you’re there, all of your senses engaged as you read thanks to the descriptions. The characters are well done, and the story itself has good pacing. Walker does a great job of throwing in twists just when you think you know how things will unfold, making it difficult to stop reading once you start. Overall, a delightful read that’s perfect for getting into the holiday spirit!

The wind whipped her long black hair, her spirit soaring freely with her falcon Finn, as Nåde galloped and her wolf Vill raced across the forested ground. 

Ulla much preferred the silent company of animals over the garrulous presence of people who made the loss of her speaking voice a painful reminder of the horrific past. Once, she’d sung like a lark, her melodic voice in perfect harmony with the mellow notes of the golden harp her fingers had so lovingly strummed. She’d often regaled the entire Château de Landuc with sublime music, her soul unleashed like Finn now winging through the cerulean sky. But shock stole her speech and silenced her song, rendering Ulla as mute as the trees.

Enthralled with legends of medieval knights and ladies, dark fairy tales, and fantasies about Druids, wizards and magic, Jennifer Ivy Walker always dreamed of becoming a writer. She fell in love with French in junior high school, continuing her study of the language throughout college, eventually becoming a high school teacher and college professor of French.

Her upcoming release, “A Celtic Yuletide Carol”, is a steamy medieval romance between a broken, battered royal knight and a solitary, mute healer and huntress who prefers the company of her wolf and falcon to humans. Both protagonists are shattered souls who slowly find solace in each other. 

Readers who enjoyed Winter Solstice in the Crystal Castle and The Wild Rose and the Sea Raven trilogy—a fated mates paranormal fantasy adaptation of the medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde, interwoven with Arthurian myth, Avalon, Elves, Druids, forest fairies, Vikings, and dark magic—will recognize several of the main characters in this new novel as well.
