Reuben Golding has come to Marchent Nideck's house high in the hills of California to write an article about the house and the mysterious history behind it. A terrible event results in Reuben gaining not only possession of this great and beautiful house but also a great and terrible gift. Somehow, he becomes a wolf, intent on tracking down evil doers. Reuben must try to make sense of the changes befalling him, while staying out of the clutches of science and law. Who can Reuben turn to, his father the professor, his mother the doctor or his brother the priest? The house's history promises just as many mysteries as answers. Can Reuben stay alive long enough to master them?
Anne Rice has proved herself queen of the vampires and mistress of witches with her many wonderful books. Her many fans, including myself, were heartbroken when she moved from the paranormal to write about Christianity's early days. With "The Wolf Gift", Anne Rice shows that she is back and just as great bringing a new look to the werewolf genre. The characters grab the reader from page one, the reasoning is plausible, and the back story is lush and intriguing. This book will delight not only Anne Rice's old fans but bring a whole new fan base.
