The Wolf and His King: Deluxe Limited Edition

Finn Longman delivers a spellbinding queer retelling of Marie de France's Bisclavret, a 12th-century werewolf romance, where a noble knight and a lonely king navigate desire, duty, and transformation. In this standalone tale, Bisclavret's wolf-sickness strips away the knight's body and mind, confining him to isolation until a new king rises and offers an unlikely bond. The king's fascination with the rough-hewn nobleman grows alongside perilous secrets, until passion disrupts duty and loyalty, and the couple must confront monsters both human and otherwise. Longman, blending medieval scholarship with lush contemporary fantasy, crafts vivid world-building, lyrical prose, and a poignant meditation on identity, belonging, and the power of chosen kinship. The Deluxe Limited Edition features a foil-stamped hardcover, stenciled edges, exquisite interior design, and full-color endpapers, making this a coveted collector's keepsake for readers who crave myth retellings that fuse romance, danger, and imagination.
