The Wolf's Quest

In The Wolf's Quest: Isa's Adventure Begins, award-winning author Mark Greathouse launches a powerful Young Adult Western series steeped in grit, faith, and historical truth too often left untold. The year is 1870. Fifteen-year-old Isa O'Toole-half White, half Comanche-saves his father from a deadly attack on their Texas ranch by killing a Mexican pistolero. But what should feel like victory instead sets off a storm within him. Struggling with guilt, identity, and the weight of legacy, Isa leaves everything behind to begin a vision quest-a sacred journey to discover who he is, and who he's meant to become. Joined by a loyal wolf and guided by the words of a hidden New Testament tucked in his saddlebag, Isa's quest soon plunges him into capture by Lakota warriors, hard-won freedom, and the fierce love of Awentia, a warrior woman whose courage matches his own. As danger stalks every trail-from hostile tribes and bounty hunters to the rising fires of the Plains Indian Wars-Isa must navigate a world where faith, prejudice, and survival collide. Can a young half-breed forge peace in a land fueled by conquest? Will his courage and conviction be enough to bridge the divide-or will it tear him apart? Perfect for readers of Young Adult Western Fiction, Christian Historical Fiction, and Coming-of-Age Frontier Epics, The Wolf's Quest blends action, romance, and faith into a bold new saga about legacy, identity, and purpose on the American frontier.
