Publisher's Synopsis
When Lowell Sencha finds the strange girl lying as if dead on the riverbank, he is startled to find that she is like them: Waer. Human, but able to assume the form of a wolf. The Sencha family's small community has kept itself sequestered and unnoticed, free from persecution. The arrival of a fellow traveller - and a hunted one at that - threatens their very survival. Lowell and the mysterious stranger are among the few to escape. And now they must find their way to the city of Luthan where, she says, they will find people to help them bring down Daeman Leldh.
