Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Robbie Fontaine is a wolf without a past, manipulated into becoming a weapon, and his slow unraveling as he rediscovers who he is—and who Kelly Bennett is to him—is Klune at his most emotionally devastating. The identity and memory themes add a layer of psychological depth that elevates the entire series.

Synopsis

Robbie Fontaine was once a wolf. But that was before the Bennetts took him in, before he became one of them, before he was turned into a weapon against those he loved. Now Robbie is back in Green Creek with no memory of the life he led—only that Kelly Bennett is important, that the sight of him makes Robbie's heart sing. But Kelly has spent years waiting for Robbie, protecting a bond he wasn't sure Robbie even wanted. As the threat of a feral Alpha looms, Robbie must decide who he really is—the monster he was made to be, or the man Kelly has always believed him to be.

At a Glance

Heartsong is the Green Creek book that will quietly destroy you. Robbie has had his memories stolen and his identity rewritten, and watching him claw his way back to himself—and to Kelly—is both harrowing and deeply tender. Kelly's asexuality is handled with genuine care, making this one of the most honest portrayals of ace romance in the genre. The pack dynamics hit harder than ever when seen through the eyes of someone who had it all taken away.
