An excellent debut by Brian Ference. Full of excitement, anticipation, and rich scenery." - Pavan ★★★★★"It has something for everyone with action, romance, and mystery." - Rachel ★★★★★ "Ference's debut puts a twist on Oscar Wilde's classic The Portrait of Dorian Gray, adding the dimension of a wild beast. The arrangement smoothly parallels the original...Victorian gentleman Dorian remains stunningly handsome after his youthful self is captured by an exceptionally talented artist in an eerily powerful painting. However, Dorian is not alone in this portrait; also depicted is a wolf cub, and after the painting is hidden away, the wolf is the one to change. A element of intense violence is added to this version, and there are some gender swaps, but the plot of a young man led astray into lusty debauchery remains the same. Passions and betrayals abound. Ference lifts some lines from Wilde's text and adds his own gift for description: 'Flowers, bright in sapphire blue and crimson reds, sang out from every corner of the ornately decorated room.'" - Publishers Weekly"There on my desk is the first passionate love-letter which I have ever composed in my life—and it is addressed to a dead girl.""The wolf had begun hunting human prey. They were plentiful in the dark city streets and provided enough good meat to satiate his gnawing hunger. He was still very careful not to let any who saw him live. To do otherwise would displease the Master. He would only stalk those people that were foolish enough to walk alone in the night."”The engorged moon hung full and low in the sky like a yellow skull. Misshapen clouds stretched across the floating orb with elongated hands and bony fingers grasping. As they neared the docks, the gas lamps grew fewer and the streets gloomier. The cobblestones blackened as they passed the deserted brickfields. Bottle-shaped kilns spat their outrage with orange tongues of fire into the cooling air. Mangy dogs snarled in hunger and wandering sea-gulls screamed their displeasure at the hansom’s passage.”

"I am a son who has sworn vengeance for the senseless killing the creature relishes in. I am a Wolver who dares to hunt werewolves. I am Lupări."Dorian is finally free from the werewolf's curse. Or maybe not. All of his allies have turned into enemies save for an old friend who has returned to offer some much needed help. As the werewolf pandemic spreads, will it be enough to save him from the Lupari and the rise of the Luna? "Brian Ference writes a thrilling creature tale...
