The Savagery of the Wild
He was three quarters wolf and all fury. Born in a cave, in famine, in the frozen arctic. Born in a world where the weak died without mercy, where only the swift, the strong, the cunning saw each dawn. It was White Fangs world--- until he and his mother were captured by the man-gods.

The Cruelty of Man
But men and their dogs taught White Fang to hate. He was beaten, abused, attacked. He was bought, sold, torture, trained to kill in blood sports. Knowing no kindness, he became a mad, lethal creature of pure rage.

The Power of One
Only one man saw White Fangs intelligence and nobility. Only one had courage to offer the killer a new life. But can a wolf understand the word hope? Can a creature of hatred understand the word love?
