Decades later, the rangers brought them back, with the first wolves arriving from Canada in 1995.</p><br /><p>This is the incredible true story of one of those wolves.</p><br /><p>Wolf 8 struggles at first-he is smaller than the other pups, and often bullied-but soon he bonds with an alpha female whose mate was shot. An unusually young alpha male, barely a teenager in human years, Wolf 8 rises to the occasion, hunting skillfully, and even defending his family from the wolf who killed his father. But soon he faces a new opponent: his adopted son, who mates with a violent alpha female. Can Wolf 8 protect his valley without harming his protégé?</p><br /><p>Authored by a renowned wolf researcher and gifted storyteller, <em>The Rise of Wolf 8</em> marks the beginning of an original and bold new trilogy, which will transform our view of wolves forever.</p>
