"This fantasy thriller that put a haunting twist on the classic fairy tale. For years villagers of Daggerhorn have maintained an uneasy truce with a warewolf - but the beast changes the stakes by killing the older sister of brave young Valerie. Promised in marriage to one man but in love with another, Valerie is affected yet again by the creature's bloody actions. When a werewolf hunter warns that the beast takes human form by day and walks among them, panic sets in as the death toll rises. And Valerie learns she has unique connection to the wolf that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect...and bait." -- Back cover.
