Evolving with human traits that conflict with its animal nature, a wolf is stalked by those seeking to capture and control it, in this grimdark fantasy.
Wounded and fighting for survival in a complex dungeon consumed by civil war, a wolf’s need to lead its own pack is fulfilled by a loyal and devoted connection to its elven companion, Emhreeil. Lost to each other, they’ve become easy prey for the monstrous creatures that prowl the multilevel mazes. To find Emhreeil, the wolf must learn to control its shapeshifting physiology and other supernatural abilities.
Meanwhile, despite losing an arm and her sight, Emhreeil isn’t completely helpless against the horrors of the dungeon. Having experienced her own transformation into vampirism, she now feeds on anything—rats and humans alike—to stay alive. Joined by her friend Katherine, she’s drawn into the escalating conflict between various dungeon factions and vows to slaughter anyone who threatens their growing circle of allies. As she embraces her rising savagery, Emhreeil is determined to increase her bloodthirsty powers and find her beloved wolf.
But Emhreeil isn’t the only one searching for the wolf. Baron Manos Ironheart, a ruthless dungeon lord, has learned of the extraordinary beast’s existence. Now he’s determined to possess it, tame it, and make it his pet—and, eventually, his weapon. The bounty Ironheart places on the wolf’s head tempts every merciless hunter in the dungeon. But with each confrontation, the hunters unknowingly strengthen the wolf’s evolution . . .
