About this ebook
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 Church’s most powerful—and secret—weapon. 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 known—and if their humanity can’t pierce the darkness Lilly harbors in her soul, they’ll soon come to know it, too.

4.5 The Church controlling the population and hunting pagans is something I usually shy away from in stories. The Teutonic knight's torture, rape and maim in the name of their god. After finding the Wolfbreed babies and killing most of them in training they use the Wolfbreed to kill the pagans. They brainwash these children through extreme torture. Lilly one that survives struggles with her humanity and her "animal" nature separating them into individuals. She wants to please her master, to not be punished. Udolf has lost his family his arm and his beliefs because of the Churches directives. Their lives intertwine and the path takes the reader down a road of redemption and deep thoughts.
Great pacing, I could not wait to pick it up every time I had to set it down. What a surprise, I almost did not read it. It was recommended by an author I love, C.L. Wilson. If not for her I would have missed this treat. Fans of the Tarin soul should enjoy this book.

Totally awesome book! That's all I can say, it is by far my favorite in my library. I have many books but none that was able to move me or have such an impact on my life. Think you for this!
