What happens when the person you’ve been taught to fear is your own father?
Twelve-year-old Olive Silver knows how to survive. Ever since her criminal father disappeared five years ago - leaving her family to carry the consequences of his crimes - she’s learned to stay alert, keep secrets and trust no one.
Then one day, she sees him outside her school.
As Olive follows her father through rain-soaked streets, railway tracks and wrecking yards, she’s desperate to uncover the truth: has he come back because he loves her, or because he wants something else?
With her older brother Ben about to graduate from the police academy, Olive is caught between family loyalty and doing what’s right. As the night spirals out of control, she faces an impossible choice - help her father escape or bring him to justice.
Raised By Wolves is a tense, fast-paced thriller about loyalty, betrayal and discovering who you are when the people you trust most let you down.
