Melbourne writer Leah Swann has conjured a trilogy of fantastic stories for the young (and young at heart). Irina the Wolf Queen is a heroine both brave and beautiful – with the cunning and daring of an animal and the wit and intelligence of a human. Irina is destined for greatness, but at every turn she is confronted by evil... This child, said Raizel, will be the greatest ruler this kingdom has ever known. Kidnapped at birth, raised by a she-wolf, then taken in by a kind farmer and his wife, Irina is no ordinary foundling. With her long hair and bright eyes, she is beautiful, but she can see in the dark, hunt better than any farmhand and communicate with the creatures of the forest. One day in the woods, Irina meets the ancient wise-woman Raizel, who reveals the truth: Irina is a princess, the long-lost daughter of King Harmon and Queen Chloe of Ragnor. Unsure of her place, Irina returns home, only to find her kingdom threatened by a wicked magician intent on revenge. Yet in the coming days of battle, could it be that a princess with the courage of a warrior and the instincts of a wolf is exactly what Ragnor needs?
