Jaren is the son of the King of Isalia, a simple and close boy despite his position, who finds his own longed-for place in the humble village of Vianta. His friendship with Erik and his people makes him reluctant to return home once his mission as the King's soldier has ended there; especially when the dark threat of huge wolves that tear some locals to pieces looms over the village. The conversation that the Prince of Isalia has with an old farmer, whose wife has perished in the jaws of one of those terrifying creatures, puts him on the trail of an old Brotherhood that once hunted a strange race of wolves. During one of the terrifying nights that its inhabitants live, Jaren meets a mysterious young woman whom he helps to escape from those animals. Unable to stop thinking about her, their paths cross again when Jaren is kidnapped by a mysterious clan that wants to put him to the test. For this, he has a week in which he will be trained by the beautiful Dayrsenne. But the young woman is not the only one who is willing to help him defeat Andras, leader of the clan. In his victory or his defeat, there is much more at stake than he expected.
