This sequel to Mad Wolf's Daughter finds Drest running for her life. Having been given the dreaded label of "wolf's head" Drest is in dire danger. Sir Oswyn has lied about her having killed the true heir to Faintree Castle so he can assume the title of Lord. Having the "wolf's head" label thrust upon her means that there is a sizable ransom for her head to be brought back to Sir Oswyn. Desperate to find a way to restore Lord Faintree to his castle and his rightful title, Drest, Tig and Emerick along with Drest's father and brothers find danger, adventure and treachery.

I loved this book just as much as the first one. Drest is a fiery and fearless heroine that proves girls can be just as tough as boys. I loved the twists and turns of this book but there was one point that I was a bit confused and it never really answered my questions. Other than that one part, it was an excellent read that I would highly recommend to boys and girls alike. It would be a great book for boys to read with a female heroine.
