Young Wolf runs away from a monastery and into the devil's hands in this darkly imaginative fantasy set in medieval Wales. Local spirits, the momentum of Christianity, and deep superstitions haunt Wolf as he tries to protect an elf child. A multi-layered plot and vivid characters keep the story well tuned for eager fantasy readers.
