Help! Trying to find a book - 1/6/2007 10:25:08 PM

Status: offline 		Hi all.  I'm hoping someone out there can help me find the book I'm looking for.  It's a fantasy, probably published between 1988 and 1995.

One of the main characters is named Braden Brade's son.  Another is called the Wolf Prince, though I can't actually remember his name.  There's also another character who is Nature's Champion, and he came out of a tree.  There's a girl, Braden's sister, but I can't remember her name, either.

There are actually 2 princes -- the Wolf Prince and his brother.  Publicly, they hate each other, but behind the scenes, they're best friends.  The reason that they publicly hate each other is that their father wanted it that way.  He was rather nasty to the boys and deliberately sowed dissention among them when they were very young.

At one point, Braden becomes a member of the Wolf Prince's guard.  WP's brother tests Braden's loyalty by trying to make him a spy, maybe?  But Braden stays loyal to the Wolf Prince, so the princes let him in on the secret.

Does that sound familiar to anyone?  I'll happily answer any questions I can, but that's all I can remember off the top of my head.  I know it's not a lot of information to go on.  I read this book years ago, but can't remember the title or the author, and haven't been able to turn it up on the web.

Thanks much for any help anyone can give me, and I hope everyone is having a good night.

Status: offline 		Hi all.  Still hoping someone out there might be able to point me to the book I'm looking for.  This is probably the only time I'll deliberately pull this thread back onto the first page.  If it disappears into the ether again, so be it, but I thought I'd give it one more chance to be seen and possibly responded to.

If you can find it in a bookstore or library, it may help you find your book. If your library doesn't have it, they may be able to get it through interlibrary loan.

Hope this helps!
