In the shadowed forests of sixteenth-century Germany, an aging nobleman makes a desperate pact with a mysterious stranger. Promised youth, strength, and vitality, Fernand Wagner accepts the bargain—only to awaken cursed. With each full moon, his body twists into that of a ravenous beast, and his soul sinks deeper into torment. As blood stains his hands and nightmares chase him across Europe, Wagner fights to reclaim his humanity before the curse devours what remains of it. Filled with secret societies, doomed love, and diabolical bargains, Wagner, the Wehr-Wolf is a gothic masterpiece of horror and tragedy—an early and unforgettable tale of the price of forbidden desire
