Abel Casey is just an ordinary boy. He goes to school and comes home to take care of his mother and sister while his father is at work. There's nothing out of the norm that would signal him to be more than what he already is. Yet when Prudence Phelan shows up on the scene, his entire world is thrown into limbo.Legend has it that a Great Wolf will some day be born to rule over all the wolf clans. A leader with extraordinary abilities. Abel has a hard time accepting such claims, even when presented with proof that he's the one Pru's clan has been waiting for. When Pru tells Abel that he must die in order to protect his family, he balks at the idea. He has no wish to cause his family any further heartache.When his sister starts exhibiting some weird behaviors, Abel realizes that he's way in over his head. Werewolves do exist, as do vampires. And apparently one has become fixated upon his sister in hopes of garnering the needed information that would lead him to destroy the Great Wolf.As his attraction for the lovely Pru grows with every day of training, he comes to realize that she's way out of his league. She's set her sights on Oakley and there's nothing that he can do to change her mind. Fighting against his feelings for her, he throws himself into his training while trying to figure out a way to save his sister and thus fulfilling the demands that have been thrown upon his shoulders - demands that could very well be his undoing should he take one wrong step.While this book has a very good premise and is quite promising, the one thing that kept me from truly enjoying its potential was the book's punctuation. Mind you, this isn't a bad review - far from it. I just think that if the editor had taken time to fully immerse him/herself in fixing the punctuation/sentence structures throughout the book, it would have made the book's message more clear and concise.Devyn has written a story that truly has potential. I do wish that she'd expanded just a little further on story of the Legacy of Kilkenny. To provide an even further and very much in-depth back story of how the clan truly came to be. I honestly liked what I read and I wish the author very well in her future endeavors.
