Well, this novel's not really very extense. But I liked it because I have a personnal fascination for werewolfs. In this story, the were-wolf is White Fell, and the other main characters are Chsristian and Sweyn, the twins.

I recommend it. This is a cool story you can read while on the bus or before going to bed. Enjoy!
