The Wolf and the Woodman is a fairytale revolving around Pagans, Patricians and Yehuli. Evike is a Wolf Girl with no powers, so she is chosen as her villiage’s sacrifice when the Woodsman comes. The Woodsmen are tasked with taking one of these girls to the king. The village doesn’t know what happens to the girls, only that the king needs their powers and that they never return. When Evike was a little girl her mother was taken and now it’s her turn. One of the Woodsmen, a one eyed Woodsmen, Gáspár is the prince and the weak link for Evike to manipulate. They travel through different lands meet many different people, until they return to the king. Where Gáspár’s illegitimate brother schemes to take the throne.  There’s adventure and action and even a little romance.
