The Wolf Gift: The Wolf Gift Chronicles (1)

The time is the present. The place, a grand mansion on a bluff figh above the Pacific onthe rugged coast of Northern California.
A young reporter ... An older woman welcoming him into her family home ... A chance encounter between two unlikely people ... An idyllic night– shattered by horrific violence ... An episode that sets in motion a terrifying yet seductive transformation, as the young man, caught between ecstasy and horror, between embracing who he is evolving into and fearing what he will become, soon experiences the thrill of the wolf gift.
And throughout it all, the search for salvation for a tormented soul, and the fraught, exhilarating journey, still to come, of being and becoming, fully, both wolf and man.
