Brienne (Wolves of Sorrow, #2)

Control.
It's the guiding principle of Brienne's life. Restrain the wolf. Remain calm. No extreme emotions.
A cage to keep her sane and safe, built on love and reenforced with fear.
On The Kaleidoscope, the cage shattered and left Brienne frantic to regain the peace she'd lost. Combat training eases her aggression. Work with the pack keeps her busy. They are but temporary bandages that fix nothing. Until she stumbles across a deserted beach with the familiar crunch of sand beneath her feet. Only there, with the Tyelann Sea stretching toward the horizon and the crashing waves a soothing song, can her wolf rest.
Or she could if the aggravating, alluring Xaeth Aliir would go away. The Rifaniir male intrigues the wolf and awakens desires she'd thought buried in Sorrow. When the ka-Razheen invites her on a diplomatic trip to Zephyr's Rest, Brienne welcomes the chance to reconnect with her adopted sister and find peace away from the pack and its memories of betrayal.
But death stalks the floating city leaving a trail only a wolf can follow. With Xaeth at her side, Brienne must use her nascent tracking skills to catch a killer and choose between a life of safety and control or glorious freedom as the woman she was always meant to be.
