Path of the Wolf - Paperback

by Tony-Paul De Vissage (Author)

In war-torn 15^th-century France, the most dangerous creature isn't the beast, it's the man who claims to own him.

Isabeau de Montaigne never asked for a husband, much less one like Francois, a self-absorbed artist more devoted to his canvases than to her. She's grown used to his long absences and strange moods, but he turns her world upside-down when he returns from his latest journey with a strange, fur-covered creature in tow. Francois claims he purchased the "wolf" from a gypsy camp. Certainly he looks and moves like a beast, but he also looks at Isabeau with undeniably human eyes.

Claiming the creature as his new muse, Francois prepares to immortalize him as Saint Jean. As Isabeau grows closer to the captive creature, she begins to see the humanity in him and questions the monstrousness of the men around her. Realizing she's as much a captive as he is, she finds the release she needed in his arms. It's then she realizes she must escape Francois's cruelty or die trying.

A sensual historical fantasy about captivity, desire, and the blurred lines between man and myth. Path of the Wolf challenges what it means to be civilized, and what it takes to reclaim your freedom.
