The rise of the Wolf 8

Yellowstone National Park was once home to an abundance of wild wolves—but park rangers killed the last of their kind in the 1920s. Decades later, the rangers brought them back, with the first wolves arriving from Canada in 1995.

This is the incredible true story of one of those wolves.

Authored by a world-renowned wolf researcher and gifted storyteller, The Rise of Wolf 8 marks the beginning of an original, bold new trilogy set to transform our understanding of an iconic species.
