Synopsis

In this captivating reinvention of the werewolf novel, S. A. Swann propels readers into the darkest days of the Middle Ages, weaving a rare blend of soaring romance, historical intrigue, paranormal thrills, and spiritual questioning to tell a story that forever changes those who hear it. When a monk inadvertently discovers a lair of werewolf young, he unleashes what will become the Churchs most powerfuland secretweapon. Clandestinely raised by the Teutonic Order, these lupine creatures serve as instruments of God against pagan unbelievers. Trained to slip into villages cloaked in human form, they are all but unstoppable. Only one, called Lilly, has cunningly fled her brutal master. Uldolf is too young to remember the massacre eight years earlier that claimed his village, his arm, and his kin. But he knows the pain of loneliness. When he sees what appears to be a beautiful young woman, injured and cowering in the woods, he races to her aid. Uldolf and his adoptive family will do anything to protect the terrified girl, but the danger is greater than they can possibly imagine. For death is the only life Lilly has ever knownand if their humanity cant pierce the darkness Lilly harbors in her soul, theyll soon come to know it, too.

alors j'ai totalement adoré cette histoire ♥ déjà parce que les loups-garous n'ont rien à voir avec ceux "romantisés" de la bit-lit, ici ils sont représentés des bêtes de cauchemar : disproportionnées entre l'humain et le loup, d'une force immense avec un fort penchant pour le déchiquetage xD. aussi......more

Goodreads review by Kendra on May 31, 2010

The premise was really intriguing but I thought this book was very poorly written. The author had very obviously done his research on the 13th century but most of the information he gives is irrelevant to the story and just bogs it down.
