The Wolf and His King

Description

A queer, spellbinding retelling of Marie de France’s 12th-century werewolf romance, where a noble knight’s curse turns devotion into danger and fealty into something far more intimate. When the wolf-sickness strikes without warning, Bisclavret’s body and mind are taken from him, leaving him trapped in isolation—until a new king arrives, lonely and guarded, and demands a bond that can’t be explained away. As their uneasy closeness deepens, secrets harden into fate, and the distance between them becomes a battleground of longing, loyalty, and survival. Finn Longman blends lyrical medieval atmosphere with sharp emotional intensity, exploring themes of identity, consent, devotion, and the cost of duty when love refuses to stay safely in the margins.
