FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Wolf King is set in the world of Charlemagne, a brutal and violent period of change in European history. In Ms. Borchardt's novel, we find Charlemagne has massed his army in Geneva, poised to add Italy to his growing list of conquests. Meanwhile, the mercenary forces of King Desiderus are perched on the other side of the Alps, ready to attack anyone moving through the mountain passes. In between live the shapeshifters, protected by their leader, Maenial, and his bride, Regeane.
In a very short time, the war destroys everything that Regeane and Maenial have struggled to accomplish, and soon they are cast into a well of calamity, as Maenial—pledged to Charlemagne as man, loyal to none but himself as wolf—is captured by Desiderus's men. Now Regeane must save him. But to do so, she enlists the aid of another—a Saxon whose love for her poses dangers of its own.
UPDATE Oct. 8, 2006: I'm having massive TBR anxiety and I'm doing a major clearing out of books from my shelf. I just can't deal with the stress of having so many TBRs right now. I'm adding this title onto a spreadsheet to keep track of as "books I might like to read someday" so that I can remember it if I ever feel like I'm more caught up with Mount TBR.
