Review Summaries
"Kern is a werewolf being hunted by a harper mage. He manages to escape by leaping into a raging river, and is only saved by washing up on a shore in the valley and being taken by some small magical folk to a nearby inn. There he is taken in and cared for, and eventually finds himself falling in love with Ainsy, one of the innfolk. Then he finds his world shattered when the same harp mage tries to break up the happiness he's found and frame him with the murders of some of the valleyfolk. Only through the true test of friendship does he prevail"
