Given to the Wolf King is a fantasy novel by Adalynd Grayves; book one is the Faeted to the Clawed Throne series. A darkness is infecting two opposing kingdoms, the human and the fae. Aoife, a headstrong fae princess, runs headfirst into danger to protect innocent lives, and in true action-before-thought style, she causes more damage than intended. To bridge a rift, she has to accept her fate of being handed to the Wolf King, a strong leader of the humans with a secret well hidden, as a ward and to aid an alliance of good faith. In doing so, Cullen and Aoife can learn more about each other and explore what the darkness is and who is causing it, but the trouble mounting on the horizon does not prevent the feelings that arise within both Aoife and Cullen. Enemies surround them, curses are found, and darkness is infecting more by the day, but fate, of course, has her plans for the princess and the king.
