FROM THE PUBLISHER
The fearsome legions of Julius Caesar have crushed resistance to Roman rule. The power of the druids is broken, the shattered tribes retreating to the dubious safety of the high mountains or fleeing north into lands as inhospitable as those left behind. Watching all the while through yellow eyes afire with curiosity and intelligence is Maeniel, a gray wolf...who is also a man.. "It begins with a woman. She is Imona: young, proud, beautiful. The sight of her fills Maeniel with unfamiliar feelings of desires, triggering his transformation from wolf to man. In her arms he learns for the first time what it means to love. It is a knowledge that will change him forever. For when Imona vanishes following a Roman massacre, Maeniel begins to learn a very different lesson.. "Following Imona's trail as wolf and man, Maeniel is himself pursued by a warrior woman sworn to kill him. She is Dryas, a queen without a kingdom. But the two adversaries will prove to have much in common. And the hunt upon which they embark will lead them farther than they can imagine: to the gates of Rome itself. To the gates of their very souls...

I am about half way through this book and just can not get into it. I really enjoyed the first one but this one is not holding my attention. There are a couple different story lines that it is following and I find it confusing and somewhat distracting from the story. I am sure that it is going to come together in the end as the story lines are leading to a culmination at the end of the book but I just don't have the patience get to it.
I have soooooooooo many books on my TBR pile that I have recently decided that anything that does not hold my attention enough to make me want to not put the book down, will be moving on. There is just not enough time to spend on a book that I am not really, really enjoying. So this book will be moving on to it's new home.

Thanks- received today!
I somehow came across another copy of this book- so I offered this one on the realys- and it is going to SandDanz
Oops... I forgot I had this one coming when I bought it this past weekend for $1. :P I'll save it to give to someone else.
I got this in one of the West of Mars live swaps...perfect since I had #1 & #3 already! I'm looking forward to trying this series!
I'm passing this on unread... the first book just didn't hold my interest enough for me to go on to books 2 & 3.
