My Wolf Within: From the Journals of Wilhelm Von Krieg: Book O...

Wilhelm Von Krieg is a gentry, a physician of medicine, and something far more terrifying...During the 18th century, a young Prussian, Wilhelm Von Krieg, attends Gottingen University to pursue a career in medicine, but when he barely survives a brutal attack from a deadly wolf beast, his life is tainted forever.Suffering from lycanthropy, he is soon sought out by others of his kind and forced into a clandestine world of deception, corruption, and murder. As he attempts to learn the ways of the Wolf, gaining acceptance within the pack hierarchy becomes strenuous while some wish to destroy him or use his newly acquired senses for their own agenda.His only choice is to find allies, but concealing a lifestyle of shapeshifting and cannibalism makes local authorities suspicious. Soon Wilhelm discovers himself alone, armed only with a plan to flee Prussia, reach the New World, and ultimately find a cure for his demonic condition.Written in diary form, My Wolf Within is a quick read and returns the reader to the traditional lore of a time when werewolves were horrifying. Unlike other present-day novels that restrain the vicious nature of beasts by replacing it with a campy and cliché romance, this book throws the audience into a cold horrifying series of betrayal, megalomania, and violent survival.
