Saulzar has thrived for years in the wilderness, his pack of wolves growing by leaps and bounds. As it has grown, conflicts have arisen between his wolves and their human neighbors, causing Saulzar to move north to find land and food for his burgeoning kingdom.
But what will happen when an old friend promises all that he hopes for in return for a savage campaign of terror? Will Saulzar return to the world he left behind, or will he seek to avoid conflict and continue life with his wolves?
