Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves

For the last five years, Sena Korhosen has been scraping by all alone on her frozen, backwater world Tundar ever since the planet’s infamous sled race claimed both her mothers’ lives. But after falling in debt to a local gangster, Sena must heal his prize fighting wolf, Iska, or he’ll force her to join the race instead. When Sena tries to escape, she ends up taking an offer from a team of scientists: they’ll get her off Tundar if she gets them to the finish line of the race. As the race unfolds and their lives are threatened at every turn, Sena must discover whether she and Iska together are strong enough to get them all out alive.

Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves satisfies our primal craving to bond with an animal—and to be a force together. The author brilliantly marries the grounded childhood love of adventure novels with a large-scale vision of a sci-fi future.
