FRACTURE (Into the Fire #6)Wolf's carefully crafted world is cracking around him. Matthias, now seventeen, wants to leave the stronghold to study in a distant city. In the smithy, Britte is distracted, hardly able to forge a nail without splintering it.

Busy quelling Wolf's worry, he ignores the growing chink in his own armor. But when Wolf finally breaches his defenses, Marc must admit he faces a battle he may not be able to fight alone.*Note: FRACTURE leaves one major plot point unresolved.
