Track of the White Wolf tells the story of Niall, son of Donal from Legacy of the Sword. He, like his father, is trying to cope with being both Homanan and Cheysuli, yet accepted by neither. For, although an adult, he has not obtained a lir, the Cheysuli mark of being accepted as a warrior, but the Homanans mistrust him, thinking he only disguises his sorcery.

This book isn't as tragic as Legacy of the Sword, so if you made it past that you'll probably be relieved. This isn't to say there is no tragedy; there is. Niall faces Cheysuli who want to put his half brother on the throne and Homanans who have found a bastard son of Carillon's to put on the throne. His life is scarcely secure. His wife is insane.

You'll also learn more about the Ihlini, why they do what they do, and are they really all evil?

Track of the White Wolf isn't necessarily the most gripping of the Cheysuli novels, but it's also not so depressing.
