The Wolves of Paris: A Novel

It was the winter of 1439. No human dared enter or leave the besieged city of Paris. Not because of war. Not because of the bitter cold. But because of a wild horde of wolves led by a gigantic, legendary man-eater. Driven by starvation, emboldened by the taste of human corpses acquired from the never-ending wars of men, the wolves of Paris answered the rallying cry of the courageous dogwolf Cortaud, who'd been branded a werewolf and captured with the help of a trained leopard - only to escape and terrorize the countryside. Across a frozen, war-blighted landscape the noble wolf and his faithful mate Silver led the ravenous pack into the city itself, spreading fear and death, and challenging the most powerful hunter of all, Bosselier, whose trap was destined to end the life of the killer-wolf . . . or his own.
