Wolfsbane Winter by Jane Fletcher
Anything with two legs and a pulse. The Iron Wolf mercenaries who guard travelers on the Misery Trail are notorious for their quick and casual sex lives.Deryn may fit the stereotype better than most, but she has her reasons. Tragedy in her childhood has left her wary of forming attachments. If you don't care, then you can't get hurt, but you can still make a mess of things--such as the outstanding error of judgment that leaves her with no money, forced to spend the winter on a lousy job in a miserable little backwater.
There she meets Alana, local healer, vet, and woman of mystery. It does not take Deryn long to find out that Alana is more than she seems, and has her own perilous secret to keep. Yet Deryn still finds herself falling for the woman, so much so that her come-and-go lifestyle is at risk.
This would be bad enough, but serious trouble arrives for Deryn and Alana in the form of demon magic from the Time of Chaos--revealing that old legends are not merely material for ghost stories around the fire. As the danger increases, who do they need to fear more, the living or the dead?
Jane Fletcher has won a GCLS award and has been nominated for the Gaylactic Spectrum and Lambda Literary awards. The Celaeno series--The Walls of Westernfort, Rangers at Roadsend, The Temple at Landfall, Dynasty of Rogues, and Shadow of the Knife; and the Lyremouth Chronicles--The Exile and the Sorcerer, The Traitor and the Chalice, The Empress and the Acolyte, and The High Priest and the Idol. When she was seven years old, she was introduced to Greek Mythology, which sparked her interest in fiction. This was exacerbated by a childhood spent scaling every piece of historic stonework she could discover (medieval castles, megalithic monuments, and Roman villas). Her steadfast desire as a child was to become an archaeologist, so it came as a surprise when she instead became a software developer. She was born in Greenwich, London, in 1956 and now lives in southwest England, where she works on both computer software and literature, though not at the same time.
