Life for an African Painted Wolf is a bitter struggle on the indifferent savanna of southern Africa. Aalwyn is the leader and matriarch of her pack. With a new litter of pups, she must fight for survival against threats from predators, starvation, and the ever present danger of human poachers.

Every day is a desperate hunt, a defense against claw and fang, and an opportunity to teach her young how to endure in a world with no room for the wild.
