Publisher's Synopsis
The Shepherd.
An old shepherd lives in isolation with his orphaned granddaughter in rural Europe.
He is plagued by a wolf, one that years ago killed his daughter, disfigured his granddaughter and continues to prey upon his flock, eluding all his efforts to find it.
He resolves to take a stand against the beast that has taken so much from him, and threatens all he has left.
This is a tale of love and regret in a rough, unforgiving land. The tale continues in Blood in the Snow, which is included in this book.
''This big wolf somewhere out in the dark with him was a hunter. It was born to be a predator, at home in the darkness that would not hinder it. He was just an old man riddled with doubt.'' - The Shepherd.
