Praised as "nature writing at its best," The Wolves of Paris takes readers to fifteenth-century France, a country so decimated by the Hundred Years' War that its people became prey for marauding wolf packs ( Hartford Courant). With France split among the English, the Burgundians, and the forces of the weak Charles VII, a wolf-dog rises to ensure the existence of his pack by any means necessary...
Courtaud begins his life as the possession of a count until an attack on the castle leaves him to fend for himself. To survive, the huge, russet-colored beast ingratiates himself into a pack of wolves he will soon lead, with his mate, Silver, at his side. Without the wild wolf's innate fear of man-and driven to starvation by vicious winters-Courtaud turns his pack to hunting livestock on its way to Paris. Battles and the plague leave corpses in their path, stoking the wolves' lust for human flesh. Soon, Courtaud's howl alone will strike fear into the hearts of Parisians, prompting a king to put a price on his head-and history to remember his name.
"Daniel Mannix gets right inside any animal skin.... His hero Courtaud is the most feared and celebrated of all wolves, and this story of his life and times, based on medieval archives, should add to the fistful of awards already garnered by Mannix.... It will haunt almost anyone." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch
