Rumor and myth surround them, speaking of their strange affinity for the great wolves of their homeland, or that some of their number can become wolves themselves. Armed with his axe, his wits, and the bestial power that is his birthright, Wulfric comes down to the civilized lands to seek his fortune. Employed by a nobleman to track down his missing daughter, he soon finds this hunt unlike any he's experienced before, and his prey far more elusive than he had thought.
