About the series

After a brutal attack by a beast he cannot see, Reuben Golding finds that he has become one of the Morphenkinder. A man who can transform from man to wolf at will.

What makes this novel special is the changes the author rings on the werewolf theme... This allows Rice to spin both a convincing thriller and an inquisition on the nature of good and evil – a recurring theme in her work. Superb.
