by S.A. Swann
Description from the amazon:
In this captivating reinvention of the werewolf novel, S. A. Swann propels readers into the darkest days of the Middle Ages, weaving a rare blend of soaring romance, historical intrigue, paranormal thrills, and spiritual questioning to tell a story that forever changes those who hear it.
When a monk inadvertently discovers a lair of werewolf young, he unleashes what will become the Church’s most powerful–and secret–weapon. Clandestinely raised by the Teutonic Order, these lupine creatures serve as instruments of God against pagan unbelievers. Trained to slip into villages cloaked in human form, they are all but unstoppable. Only one, called Lilly, has cunningly fled her brutal master.
Uldolf is too young to remember the massacre eight years earlier that claimed his village, his arm, and his kin. But he knows the pain of loneliness. When he sees what appears to be a beautiful young woman, injured and cowering in the woods, he races to her aid. Uldolf and his adoptive family will do anything to protect the terrified girl, but the danger is greater than they can possibly imagine. For death is the only life Lilly has ever known–and if their humanity can’t pierce the darkness Lilly harbors in her soul, they’ll soon come to know it, too.

I dunno... any time period would be good, maybe a week from Tuesday LOL
ReplyDeleteNo, seriously - I'd go with Circa 480 B.C. and kinda combine the Spartans (from the movie 300) with werewolves!! Those guys were already pretty buff, but if some of them were werewolves, TOO .... wow ;)
Werewolves in any time period are good..LOL but I think Regency would be cool.

I guess I always like to read modern werewolf books as well as other time periods. It doesn't matter when the book is set in, the werewolves are what makes the book interesting!

I think I enjoy modern day werewolves as much as middle century ones.... have you seen Taylor Lautner without a shirt on?? I mean HELLO!!!!!
ReplyDeletefreda.mans[at]sympatico.ca
I would just love seeing werewolvesmanipulating events during a famous war: American Civil or maybe French Revolutionary as an extension of the endless battle between werewolves & vampries. : ) As long as it didn't get too bogged down in historical details so that I can still enjoy it, wink wink.
ReplyDelete(I also agree with Nina - werewolves in Rome? Awesome idea!)

I would love to see Werewolves in Roman time. I would be curious to see how their Romulus and Remus legend would affect their reactions to Werewolves.

ReplyDeleteI would love to see them during the Renaissance. Can you imagine them in the clothes? Imagine if DaVinci was a werewolf.

Hmm...werewolves in the late 1700s and early 1800s as that was when the gothic genre came about.

I totally agree about pirate werewolves but the whole running water thing might be a problem.

How about werewolves in America before Europeans got here? The legends are certainly there to be expanded upon. I'd read that book.
