Night of the Wolf - Borchardt Alice - 1999

DESCRIPTION

454 pages. Tanned pages. Minor reading creases to spine. Minor edgewear and creasing to covers and bumped corners. Continues the richly atmospheric historical fantasy trilogy about shapeshifters, this time set in Britain and Gaul during the glory years of Caesar's Roman empire. The second in this richly atmospheric trilogy tells the story of Maeniel, hundreds of years before his appearance in The Silver Wolf. Maeniel, a wolf possessed of a unique gift, is drawn into the lives of men when he is captured by a magnificent Celtic warrior, Dryas, who thirsts for revenge against Julius Caesar. Maeniel matches wits with her, but she seduces him while in his man-form within a circle of standing stones. Too late, he realizes that he cannot return to his wolf form so long as he is a prisoner of her ancient magic. As the druids of Gaul force him to become their instrument of revenge, Maeniel must draw upon all his primitive powers to find a way to reach the most powerful, and dangerous, man in the world. But his escape will depend on the dangerous talents of Dryas, as she fights for her life, and those of their co-conspirators, in the gladiator's arena. Atmospheric, intelligent and enthralling, Night of the Wolf continues this unique trilogy in fine style. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; Horror; ISBN: 000224716X. ISBN/EAN: 9780002247160.
