In early-twentieth-century Russia, Feodora and her mother teach aristrocrats' abandoned pet wolves how to survive in the wild, despite the tsar's orders to destroy them. When Feo's mother is arrested for treason, Feo, young soldier Ilya, and three wolf companions travel to Saint Petersburg to orchestrate an escape. Folkloric elements make the tale's more implausible events feel like part of a grander tapestry.
