What compels a man to risk his life to join a wolf pack? To eat alongside them, endure their bites, and learn their language? In this gripping narrative, Shaun Ellis recounts how his life transformed upon encountering a wolf for the first time. He shares his journey from his childhood in Norfolk, England, through survival training with British Army Special Forces, to the Nez Percé Indian lands in Idaho, where he lived with a wolf pack for nearly two years. Ellis provides a remarkable insight into the lives of these misunderstood creatures, detailing his raw diet, infrequent washing, and the necessity of defending his share of kills. He describes how he communicated with the pack through howls and body language, eventually mirroring their behaviors. His observations reveal the intricacies of wolf life, including how they give birth, raise their young, and maintain order within the pack. After years in the wild, Ellis barely recognized the feral reflection in the mirror. This account unveils the life of a unique individual who forsook civilization yet maintained his humanity, offering readers an extraordinary glimpse into the bond between man and wolf.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the first time, rock music’s most famous muse tells her incredible story “A charming, lively and seductive book . . . The appeal of Wonderful Tonight is as self-evident as the seemingly simple but brash opening chord of ‘A Hard Day’s Night.’”—The New York Times Book Review Pattie Boyd, former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, finally breaks a forty-year silence and tells the story of how she found herself bound to two of the most addictive, promiscuous musical geniuses of the twentieth century and became the most legendary muse in the history of rock and roll. The woman who inspired Harrison’s song “Something” and Clapton’s anthem “Layla,” Pattie Boyd has written a book that is rich and raw, funny and heartbreaking—and totally honest.

The relationship between Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is one of the most remarkable love stories of the age.
