Ecology Meets Mystery
Inti Flynn arrives in the Scottish Highlands with fourteen grey wolves, a traumatised sister and fierce tenacity.

As a biologist, she knows the animals are the best hope for rewilding the ruined landscape and she cares little for local opposition. As a sister, she hopes the remote project will offer her twin, Aggie, a chance to heal after the horrific events that drove them both out of Alaska.

A Community in Turmoil
But violence dogs their footsteps and one night Inti stumbles over the body of a farmer. Unable to accept that her wolves could be responsible, she makes a reckless decision to protect them.

A Tangled Web of Blame
But if the wolves didn't make the kill, then who did? And can she trust the man she is beginning to love when he becomes the main suspect?

A Story That Will Stay with You
Propulsive and unforgettable, Once There Were Wolves is the spellbinding story of a woman desperate to save her family, the wild animals and the natural world she loves, at any cost.

Why It Resonates
Achieving both literary and commercial acclaim, Once There Were Wolves serves as a compelling commentary on the urgent issues of environmental rewilding and violence against women. Brilliantly blending genres, this novel is perfect for fans of Emily St. John Mandel, Evie Wyld, and Hannah Kent.
