MAN OR MONSTER?Anne Rice reinvented the vampire legend. Discover what she's
done with the werewolf myth. After a brutal attack Reuben finds himself
changing. His hair is longer, his skin is more sensitive and her can hear
things he never could before. Now he must confront the beast within him or
lose himself completely.
It is winter at Nideck Point. Oak fires burn in the stately flickering
hearths, and the community organizes its annual celebration of music and
pageantry. But for Reuben Golding, now infused with the Wolf Gift, this
promises to be a season like no other. He's preparing to honor an ancient
Midwinter festival with his fellow Morphenkinder--a secret gathering that
takes place deep within the verdant recesses of the surrounding forests.
However, Reuben is soon distracted by a ghost. Tormented, imploring, and
unable to speak, it haunts the halls of the great mansion, drawing him toward
a strange netherworld of new spirits, or ageless ones. And as the swirl of
Nideck's preparations reaches a fever pitch, they reveal their own dark
magical powers.
