YA
When a mysterious wood carver arrives in Madeleine's small Scottish village, she is enchanted by his skills and falls in love. Later she learns of his horrific double life as a werewolf, as well as how she can save him. The novel's predictable conclusion is offset by the gruffness of the characters, the seamlessly woven historical details, and the village's superstitious atmosphere.
