Book description
On a battlefield strewn with corpses, a ragged figure, dressed in
wolfskin and intent on death, slips past the guards into the tent of the
Emperor and draws his sword.
The terrified citizens of Constantinople are plagued by mysterious
sorcery. The wolves outside the city are howling. A young boy had traded
the lives of his family for power. And a Christian scholar, fleeing with
his pregnant wife from her enraged father, must track down the magic
threatening his world.
All paths lead to the squalid and filthy prison deep below the city,
where a man who believes he is a wolf lies chained, and the spirits of
the dead are waking.
The Norsemen camped outside the city have their own legends, of the
wolf who will kill the gods, but no true Christian could believe such a
thing.
And yet it is clear to Loys that Ragnarok is coming. Will he be
prepared to sacrifice his life, his position, his wife and his unborn
child for a god he doesn't believe in?
"And deep in the earth, the wolfman howls..."
