(from the back of the book) Cursed by his own mother out of vengeance, Ernbrecht Zweistätter, son and heir of a wealthy cattle baron of Weiden, slowly but inexorably turns into a ravenous wolf. Quick help is needed! Is there a possibility to find a powerful mage who can cancel the change? Or is it necessary to find the mother and force her to take the curse off her son? Is the curse of a malicious act of revenge, or perhaps even a strange expression of ... mother love? Who could shed light into the darkness of questions quicker than a clever and determined party of heroes?
