Since boyhood, he hasn't dared leave the forest - not to beg the return of his father's lost estate, not to seek brotherhood among the court, not even to win the knighthood he yearns for. But when a new king ascends to the throne, he must deliver his kiss of fealty or answer for the failure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Half an exile himself, the young king is intrigued by this uneasy, rough-hewn nobleman. Bisclavret seems a perfect knight: bold, strong, and merciful. But he keeps his secrets close. The king's longing grows, until one day Bisclavret vanishes beyond reach. Battling desperation and grief, only duty to his people stands between the king and ruin - duty, and the wolf .\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Steeped in the texture of its source material and rendered with a precision of language that feels intimate and timeless, \u003ci\u003eThe Wolf and His King\u003c\/i\u003e will transport you to a fireside - unmissable for fans of Samantha Shannon and Madeline Miller.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Howlingly good' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTHE BOOKSELLER\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Quiet, meditative, powerful' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLOCUS\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A beautiful, lyrical tale of love, betrayal and above all, yearning' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSFX\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'With prose that flows off the page like honey' \u003cb\u003eCRISTIN WILLIAMS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Will sink its teeth into you' \u003cb\u003eV.
