Bran dies broken and despised after his inability to shapeshift costs him the lives of his starving family during an unyielding winter blizzard. Waking up years in the past before disaster strikes, the guilt-ridden wolf beastman discovers a miraculous new ability: he can communicate and strike soul pacts with ancient forest creatures.
Determined to rewrite his shameful history, Bran forages medicinal treasures, clears his crippling debts, and builds an impregnable haven for his kin. But when malicious poachers and corrupt merchants set flames to the timberlands, he commands an army of predators to defend his clan and claim his rightful throne.
