The Cavern of Secrets holds much more than you can imagine. Once a forbidden place, the ban on entrance has been released...yet, is it a good idea to enter?

Once a great battle had been fought in this cavern, against a dark beast that had once - and still might - dwell here. No one knows where he disappeared to, but there are rumours...

In the hazy amber light of the setting sun, the wolf’s fur took on a fiery quality, creamy blonde deepening to a rich copper that flickered brightly through the forest’s shadows. Blue eyes opened wide and suspicious; he flinched at every sound that hit his perked ears as if they were pebbles thrown at his face; his gait remained a quick, aggressive stride, yet it was clear from the tension in his spine that this veneer of anger would dissolve into panic at the right provocation. Thackery had always been on the small side: a compact prince of a wolf who was called “pretty” more than he was called “handsome.” Females tended to swoon over her sharp, intelligent features while males scoffed at his stature, not trusting the brute with the treacherous gaze. He’d managed to get this far in life with cruel brilliance. Thacks knew when to run, and when to poison his enemies when they weren’t looking. Right now . . . life had shoved him into more of a “run” situation.

“Dammit, dammit . . .” Shadows lengthened and deepened, the sun’s rays bleeding scarlet the farther they dipped below the horizon. Thackery did not fear the dark. In fact, he had always been most comfortable as a predator when blackness obscured his shorter silhouette and the only thing his prey noticed was the blinding flash of his fangs. However, the golden boy did fear the consequences of getting caught . . . so much that he’d raced through the portal glimmering on the outskirts of his old pack’s territory without a second thought. His sensitive nares had caught the scents of freedom just beyond the edges of a doorway that should not have been there—and he jumped. Now it was only a matter of time before those that called for his blood found the same bridge and gathered their balls to follow him. “Isn’t there anywhere to bloody hide in this godsforsaken place?”I

Thacks needed a cave. He could wedge himself into places nobody could reach—if they had the stones to come after him in the first place. Imagine his joy when the forest opened to a series of caverns yawning out of a raised hill of earth, as if sensing his desperation. An odd energy hummed around their fathomless openings . . . the naked pillars of quartz spearing across the clearing almost appeared to glow. Thackery shook his head, giving a growl. Surely it was only the last vestiges of greenish glow limning the dead sun’s grave; it was this final step before total night that always made the woods seem more magical than they were.

The princeling sniffed around until he found a cave with hardly a trace of wolf-scent. Smiling grimly, he darted in, relief blanketing him like the absolute darkness that swallowed the cavern’s bowels.
