Anne Rice Writes...
Dear Reader:It is with immense joy that I introduce to you a daring and vibrant new voice on the female literary frontier--a writer with the vision and scope to conjure up her own thrilling mythos and the craftsmanship to render it in breathtaking, shimmering prose.
In this hypnotic novel, the decadence and splendor of ancient Rome comes vividly to life through a character as enigmatic as my very own Lestat. Exotic and beautiful, young Regeane is kin to Charlemagne. Yet, she is distinguished by something infinitely greater than her royal blood. For Regeane is a shapeshifter: both women and wolf--with centuries of latent primacy pulsing through her soul. And now the day has arrived that her heritage--both seductive gift and lonesome curse--spills passionately into an opulent world of intrigue and twisted ambitions.
Beating with the rich cadences of a bygone era and peopled with characters that beckon to the deepest reaches of our souls, The Silver Wolf is a stunning initiation into a dark and dazzling realm. My pride and enthusiasm for this brilliant writer's debut is doubly great because we have shared a rich and wondrous tradition of storytelling since childhood. Even so, my words fail to fully prepare you for the enchantment you are about to experience. Readers, fans, friends... I present to you my sister... Alice Borchardt.
Sincerely,
Anne Rice
