The Wolf's Eye

A Novel (The Order of the Seven Stars, Book 2)

By: Luanne G. Smith

Narrated by: Gail Shalan

Under the full moon of World War I, a baleful curse threatens to tear apart a witch’s found family in a novel by the Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestselling author of The Raven Spell.

Petra Kurková—a witch who wields magic worth its weight in gold—is tasked with combating the undead on World War I’s eastern front. The battlefield has yielded a newfound closeness for her spellbound team, especially for Josef Svoboda, a recruiter for the Order of the Seven Stars. But Josef was bitten at the start of the war, leaving his blood tainted by a strain of the vlkodlak curse, which makes him a target of the Order’s latest mission: slay the werewolves prowling the eastern front under the moonlight.

Petra refuses to give up on one of their own. From the hasty kill order of a clandestine society to the long-lost spells in an old grimoire to the unraveling mysteries of Petra’s own past, the urgency to save Josef grows, particularly as his feral impulses become harder to control. The werewolves are closing in. So, too, are the bounty hunters eager to collect. As Petra’s team finds itself at a magical crossroads, Josef devises an ambush of his own—one that could wipe out the cursed threat forever or endanger everything and everyone he loves.

Critic reviews

“[I]t’s easy to sink into Smith’s world.” —Publishers Weekly

“Smith builds characters the reader actively roots for and throws them into exciting danger that only their loyalty to each other can overcome. An entertaining, intelligent historical fantasy.” —Historical Novel Society

Enjoyable continuation

There were only three male voices, so everyone but Joseph and Yanic sounded the same and bled together in my head. Victor I remembered, but all the new men introduced in the book… all the same. But, that wasn’t terrible to my enjoyment. I did like the accents.

An absolutely incredible book two!

The audio version of this book was phenomenal I can’t stress that enough! I rarely leave written reviews but I freaking loved this duology! Love Luanne G Smith! Kudos! 😍

Excellent performance

A fun story line to follow as Petra and her crew rush around to save their friend while discovering more of Petra’s past and the source of her power. I thought the narrator was fantastic as well.

Very Unique

There is a love story buried deep beneath the horrors of war and the fantasy of witches and werewolves. The author does a fantastic job of drawing the reader in and making them forget the world outside.

Very interesting

Hopefully there will be more books in this series. It is easy to get involved with the characters and story. The characters are different and have some depth to them.
