[amtap book:isbn=0425181995]<\/p>\n

Amid the lush vine\u00adyards and majes\u00adtic hills of Napa Val\u00adley, hyp\u00adno\u00adtist [Doc\u00adtor] Johan\u00adna Schell has found\u00aded Der Haven<\/em> \u2014 a sanc\u00adtu\u00adary for those who know the pain of being \u201cdif\u00adfer\u00adent\u201d. For des\u00adper\u00adate, fright\u00adened peo\u00adple whose souls are lost to grief. For lone\u00adly tor\u00adtured men like Quentin Foster \u2026<\/p>\n

Fright\u00aden\u00ading spells of amne\u00adsia have plagued Quentin for years, and Johan\u00adna wants noth\u00ading more than to ease his unspeak\u00adable pain\u2013and find out if his claim to were\u00adwolf blood is just a delu\u00adsion. But she is hor\u00adri\u00adfied to dis\u00adcov\u00ader that, under hyp\u00adno\u00adsis, this ten\u00adder, thought\u00adful man becomes vio\u00adlent, venge\u00adful \u2026evil. And now\u2013caught in the bal\u00adance between real\u00adi\u00adty and illu\u00adsion, truth and decep\u00adtion, sim\u00adple desire and absolute destruction\u2013she must find the courage to trust him. To love him. To save him\u2026<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Can a tor\u00adtured man like Quentin Fos\u00adter find peace? Can a ded\u00adi\u00adcat\u00aded heal\u00ader like Johan\u00adna Schell find love? Can they togeth\u00ader defeat the ene\u00admies with and with\u00adout and find their desires together?<\/p>\n

Well, this is<\/em> a romance nov\u00adel, so, yes, they will do all every\u00adthing list\u00aded above. But it won\u2019t be easy, even less easy than the aver\u00adage romance nov\u00adel. That\u2019s what hap\u00adpens when the para\u00adnor\u00admal is added to the mix.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Because \u201cSecret of the Wolf\u201d<\/a><\/em> isn\u2019t an aver\u00adage Har\u00adle\u00adquin romance \u2018quick\u00adie\u2019 nov\u00adel, but a large nov\u00adel that just does\u00adn\u2019t con\u00adcen\u00adtrate on the tri\u00adals of the two main pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnists but that of the sec\u00adondary char\u00adac\u00adters, as well. As such, it lends more strength to the main char\u00adac\u00adters reflect\u00aded in the actions of the ones around them. And when the trou\u00adbles that sur\u00adround Quentin and Johan\u00adna seem too much for them to han\u00addle, their patients dis\u00adcov\u00ader not only the strength to aid them but the abil\u00adi\u00adty to aid them\u00adselves. That\u2019s what makes this much more than the aver\u00adage romance nov\u00adel, as well as a high\u00adly-regard\u00aded romance nov\u00adel in its own right.<\/p>\n

Descrip\u00adtion:<\/em> In a haven that includes a delu\u00adsion\u00adal for\u00admer actress still reliv\u00ading her slight tri\u00adumphs on the stage, a for\u00admer sol\u00adder with the Sight shat\u00adtered on the bat\u00adtle\u00adfield of the Civ\u00adil War, a for\u00admer pas\u00adtor now sub\u00admerged in his own penance, a young girl tor\u00adment\u00aded by the abuse of her father, a young man whose only flaw is that he is \u201cslow\u201d and the doc\u00adtor\u2019s own father, suf\u00adfer\u00ading the effects of what appears to be a stroke, Quentin stands alone and apart, Found near the Haven by the for\u00admi\u00adda\u00adble Doc\u00adtor Schell, who believes his afflic\u00adtion is sim\u00adply alco\u00adhol, she is shocked when, under trance, dis\u00adclos\u00ades his biggest secret: he is a were\u00adwolf. At first, she thinks is mere\u00adly a metaphor for his con\u00addi\u00adtion but even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly learns it is sim\u00adply the truth.<\/p>\n

But even still, he is incom\u00adplete. As we learn lat\u00ader, he has a sub\u00admerged per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, a dark side that appears when he is threat\u00adened or drunk, one that appeared to counter the cru\u00adel\u00adties of his grand\u00adfa\u00adther, one that calls itself \u201cFen\u00adris\u201d. And both Quentin and Johan\u00adna must rely on Fen\u00adris to bat\u00adtle the were\u00adwolf who has come to steal Quentin and com\u00adplete the process begun by Quentin\u2019s grand\u00adfa\u00adther, trans\u00adform\u00ading him into a ruth\u00adless, mer\u00adci\u00adless killer.<\/p>\n

Com\u00admen\u00adtary:<\/em> While the prac\u00adtice of hyp\u00adnother\u00ada\u00adpy as pic\u00adtured in the book is accu\u00adrate, its also sev\u00ader\u00adal decades ahead of its time. Not just the regres\u00adsion tech\u00adnique, which is sketchi\u00adly han\u00addled but still clear enough to be under\u00adstood, but even the induc\u00adtion tech\u00adnique, which at the time were more com\u00adplex and time-consuming.<\/p>\n

His\u00adto\u00adry: \u201cSecret of the Wolf\u201d<\/em> is the third book of a fam\u00adi\u00adly cycle, begin\u00adning with \u201cTouch of a Wolf\u201d <\/em>and then \u201cOnce a Wolf\u201d<\/em>. Quentin is the \u2018black sheep\u2019 of the fam\u00adi\u00adly, so to speak, because of the cru\u00adel\u00adties that his elders per\u00adformed on him to \u2018make a wolf of him\u2019.<\/p>\n
