Sorry, Rusty, I didn't...but I hope this can clarify a few things and help you decide on your own!!
THROUGH THE WOLF'S EYES
irekeeper only vaguely remembers a time when she didn't live with her family, a pack of royal wolves-bigger, stronger, and smarter than normal wolves. Now her pack leaders are sending her back to live among the humans, as they promised her mother years ago.Some of the humans think she may be the lost heir to their throne. This could be good-and it could be very, very dangerous. In the months to come, learning to behave like a human will turn out to be more complicated than she'd ever imagined.But though human ways might be stranger than anything found in the forest, the infighting in the human's pack is nothing Firekeeper hasn't seen before. That, she understands just fine. She's not your standard-issue princess-and this is not your standard-issue fairy tale.

WOLF'S HEAD, WOLF'S HEART
Raised by intelligent, language-using wolves, brought back to the human society at the court of Hawk Haven, young Firekeeper had to learn to cope with human society and its complexities . . . and discovered that, for someone raised in a wolf pack, the politics of a royal court were neither complex nor wholly unfamiliar.
But the happy ending of Through Wolf's Eyes has proved to have consequences. Hawk Haven and Bright Bay are unifying, but the power balance of the neighboring lands is threatened by this prospect. New intrigues abound. The rulers of Bright Bay, it transpires, have been hoarding a collection of forbidden magical artifacts . . . which Queen Gustin took with her when she abdicated, intending to use them to restore her power. Melina Shield is still scheming to obtain them, and she's older, smarter, and more devious than the Queen. And the even-more-devious civil service of neighboring New Kelvin would like to get their hands on that magic as well . . . .
Which will make life very hard for Firekeeper. Because the powers of the world have decided who'll be required to obtain those much-contended-for magical articles. It'll be her.

THE DRAGON OF DESPAIR
Raised far from humans by intelligent, language-using wolves, then brought back to the court of Hawk Haven, Firekeeper has had to learn to cope with human society. And as it turns out, for one raised among intelligent social carnivores, the intrigues of the human pack aren't all that unfamiliar." "Now Melina Shield, she beautiful, unscrupulous, and thoroughly discredited sorceress whose power-hungry intrigues have already made so much trouble for Firekeeper, is once again using her power to cloud men's minds. She has induced the ruler of New Kelvin to marry her. This is bad news all around." It's particularly bad news for Firekeeper. Melina has never abandoned her schemes to gain power through the use of forbidden ancient sorcery. And the leaders of the royal beasts who watch over this world have given Firekeeper - and her intelligent wolf companion, Blind Seer - the responsibility of stopping her.

WOLF CAPTURED
Firekeeper and her wolf companion, Blind Seer are kidnapped and dragged overseas, then forced to maneuver for their lives in an unfamiliar and dangerous new society.
The Liglimoshti worship animals and portents, which rule their lives. And the Liglimoshti are aware, as the other countries are not, that Royal animals like Truth and Blind Seer exist, are intelligent, and can speak to each other. They’ve kidnapped Firekeeper and Blind Seer because they’ve never before heard of a human who could talk to animals. They want to see what Firekeeper can do. They want her to teach them how to do it.
Firekeeper’s more than willing to talk to the animals there. But she fears that Liglim’s Royal animals are being held in polite and unobtrusive bondage. She wants to find out the truth--and, if necessary, free them . . .

WOLF HUNTING
Still in Liglimon, Firekeeper and her wolf companion Blind Seer respond to a request for assistance from Truth, the soothsayer-jaguar first encountered in Wolf Captured.While helping her, they come across evidence which suggests that someone may have been manipulating various people they+ve already encountered who+ve had an unhealthy interest in ancient magic (a huge taboo in their culture). Further evidence indicates that there are two people somewhere out there who may share this unhealthy interest, and Firekeeper and her friends decide that it is their duty to find out who these people are and what they are doing.Truth knows more than she+s telling. In Wolf Captured, we watched her ability to see and trace future timelines lead her down into madness. But now, the Voice that guided her out of that madness has continued to speak to her-and it+s not her friend. Eventually Truth realizes that her Voice may well be a person the Liglimon call -The Meddler+-in their strongly hierarchical and theocratic view, a dangerous trickster figure. Truth doesn+t fess up to this until the group is too deeply committed to their search to pull out. They+re not happy-Truth is serving as their guide.Compellingly told, rich with real people and real animals, Wolf Hunting is the latest and strongest in an increasingly popular series with broad appeal.
