Search - The Wolf King

The Wolf King is set in the world of Charlemagne, a brutal and violent period of change in European history. In Ms. Borchardt's novel, we find Charlemagne has massed his army in Geneva, poised to add Italy to his growing list of conquests. Meanwhile, the mercenary forces of King Desiderus are perched on the other side of the Alps, ready to attack anyone moving through the mountain passes. In between live the shapeshifters, protected by their leader, Maenial, and his bride, Regeane.
In a very short time, the war destroys everything that Regeane and Maenial have struggled to accomplish, and soon they are cast into a well of calamity, as Maenial—pledged to Charlemagne as man, loyal to none but himself as wolf—is captured by Desiderus's men. Now Regeane must save him. But to do so, she enlists the aid of another—a Saxon whose love for her poses dangers of its own.
Synopsis
In The Silver Wolf, Alice Borchardt brought the brutality and decadent splendor of Dark Ages Rome brilliantly to life in the remarkable tale of Regeane, a beautiful young shapeshifter fighting to live and love as both woman and wolf.

Library Journal
When an escaped Saxon slave rescues Regeane from death, he becomes embroiled in the dangerous adventures of a pair of shapeshifters whose magic and prowess change the lives of all they encounter. Set against the rise of the Frankish kingdom, Borchardt's latest addition to the series begun in The Silver Wolf and continued in Night of the Wolf follows the fortunes of soulmates Regeane and Maeneal as they struggle to survive during one of the world's bloodiest historic eras. Fans of werewolf fiction and historic fantasy should enjoy this tale of ancient history and even more ancient magic.
