About the
Author

Conflict and
Courage was written by Scottish author Candy Rae, a lifelong fan of
fantasy fiction. She has now realised her own unique ambition by
completing a fantasy fiction series about the mysterious Planet
Wolf.

Readers of the
books will become aware of the subplot which runs through the
series and which will keep them engrossed until it is revealed.

The novels are
accompanied by a full glossary of names and places and a guide to
the various languages and cultures discovered as the story
unfolds.

Special thanks
to Jennifer for helping to link Ayrshire, Scotland with California,
U.S.A. when she supplied outstanding artwork for all volumes.
