One of the vilest secrets of the MacHeaths was that they would purposely maim young pups, hoping to gain a place in the Watch of the Sacred Volcanoes.
In "Shadow Wolf" by Kathryn Lasky, one of the darkest truths about the MacHeaths is revealed: they deliberately harm young pups to secure a position within the Watch of the Sacred Volcanoes. This disturbing practice highlights their ruthless ambition and the lengths they will go to for power. Their actions reflect a deep moral decay, showcasing a willingness to exploit the innocent for personal gain.
