About This Book

The tale opens with a warmly depicted rural household and then shifts into a compact supernatural folk narrative when suspicion of lycanthropy disturbs the community. As fear, loyalty, and ritual respond to the threat, characters confront the porous line between human and animal; the plot follows investigations, personal sacrifices, and escalating consequences that explore belief, kinship, and the moral ambiguities of punishment and protection.
