Simeon cares for the town and people of Erwali. He runs the streets and controls the archaeological booking industry, But he's more interested in how people think and feel. When he meets John, a man whose family is as scarred as he is, Simeon faces conflict. Those of his heritage want him only to hold their interests. His competition has no time for beggars and street rats. Street rats who are disappearing. Simeon realizes trouble boils in the city and he's bound to get to it's bottom. To do so, he must come to grips with the wolves. The great Russian wolf who lives just under Simeon's skin, rips wanting to be free. Wolves of past trouble haunt him, wolves of his present howl. John's family becomes pivotal to his decision. Storms rise. Now Simeon's in a fight for his life against whoever is stealing the people of his city. Simeon had better run fast and make peace with his inner wolf because the beast within is the only chance John's family has, and the wolves of Erwali are closing in.
