Narrative To Books Wolfbreed (Wolfbreed #1)
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.

The Medieval historical where the church is raising werewolves to scare the pagans into converting, and the last surviving one escapes and loses her memory and thinks she's an ordinary girl.This had potential, but, my God, the way the story is told is terrible. From sentence to sentence there are insane amounts of background information, so that even scenes where a werewolf is devouring soldiers seem to drag on. Then the werewolf escapes, the young peasant finds her, you turn the page, and youSurprisingly good. It was almost the traditional werewolf form, which left me wondering how good this novel would be, but don't let that fool you. This book has action, suspense, and romance. I finished it in 3 days, and am moving on to the next one. Gotta read as many as I can before University takes me away from my beloved hobby of reading, once again. : P
Really enjoyed this one and I have already ordered Wolf's Cross (Wolfbreed #2) through our library.Don't judge this book by its cover, I can tell you that it is really different than what you think.Very well written and easy to follow storyline with some seemingly real life characters you can't help but like
3.5 stars.
Read it a few years agi, slightly hard to read, but maybe its easier now
I gave this 5 stars because it told a different kind of werewolf tale and from another time period. I found the book fascinating, but I wish the author had explained the origins of the wolfbreed. If there was one pack of these wolf/human creatures, should there not have been others? What were its origins? Was Lilly the last of her kind? The book left many questions unanswered, but it kept me hooked nonetheless.
