The war should have killed him. The binding may never let him die.
Ohio Country, 1755. British soldier Caleb Thorne survives the destruction of Braddock's army and disappears into a frontier where his uniform makes him a target.
In a Lenape village, he finds shelter, a place he might earn, and Weenji-a woman whose courage gives him reason to imagine a life beyond soldiering. But when an ambush leaves him dying, her grandmother saves him through a binding whose full price he cannot understand.
Then the moon rises.
His bones break. His senses sharpen. And the people who took him into their homes must face what he has become.
As French and British forces tighten their grip on the Ohio Country, word spreads of an Englishman who changes into a wolf. Men on both sides see a weapon worth possessing. Caleb must learn to control the creature before another army claims his life-and before Weenji pays for trusting the man inside it.
But the binding reaches further than the next full moon, and the woman who performed it is running out of time to explain.
The Wolf Spirit: The Binding begins Caleb Thorne's journey through The American Wolf Chronicles, blending brutal frontier warfare, werewolf horror, and a love bound to something neither lover fully understands.
Discover Weenji's side of the same story in Bound to the Wolf Spirit: The Binding. Each novel stands alone. Together, they reveal what the other cannot.
