Publisher Description
Wolfsong is a heartfelt story of queer love, loyalty, and found family from TJ Klune, the Sunday Times bestselling author of The House in the Cerulean Sea.
Ox Matheson was twelve when his father taught him a lesson: Ox wasn’t worth anything and people would never understand him. Then he left.
Ox was sixteen when the energetic Bennett family moved in next door, harbouring a secret that would change him forever. For the family are shape-shifters, who can transform into wolves at will. Drawn to their magic, loyalty and enduring friendships, Ox feels a gulf between this extraordinary new world and the quiet life he’s known. He also finds an ally in Joe, the youngest Bennett boy. Joe is charming and handsome, but haunted by scars he cannot heal.
Ox was twenty-three when murder came to town, and tore a hole in his heart. Violence flared, tragedy split the pack and Joe left town, leaving Ox behind. Three years later, the boy is back. Except now he’s a man – and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between them.
Wolfsong is the first book in the beloved Green Creek series by bestselling author TJ Klune. Continue the journey with Ravensong.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Klune (In the Lives of Puppets) opens his Green Creek series with this slow-burning and intricate urban fantasy, originally self-published in 2015. Four years after Ox Matheson's father abandons him and his mother in their small Oregon town, the Bennett family moves in next door, and Joe Bennett, an 11-year-old survivor of abduction, immediately imprints on 16-year-old Ox, following him everywhere. Ox eventually learns that the Bennetts are werewolves and, just before Joe turns 18, Joe asks if he can court Ox with the intention of eventually becoming his mate for life, which Ox surprises himself by agreeing to, suddenly seeing Joe in a new light. Tragedy strikes when an old enemy of the Bennetts appears and kills both Joe's father and Ox's mother. Joe, now pack alpha, sets off with his brothers to hunt the killer, leaving Ox with scant communication for three years. As Ox discovers surprising abilities of his own and pines for Joe, threats to the pack's safety and curiosity about Ox's unusual position as a human among werewolves hold readers' attention until a final, epic showdown. Klune gets ahead of any Twilight comparisons by making the connection explicit in the text, and the immersive—if slightly overlong—plot offers plenty of opportunities to fall in love with these characters. Fans will be delighted.
