Description
It's 1592. Europe is in chaos. Religious factions have torn the region apart and witch-hunts have become a part of everyday life. In the Company of Wolves follows three groups of travelers - a fearless female pirate roaming the North Sea, a priest and his wife escaping to England to avoid persecution, and a young thief from the slums of Germany looking for a better life. Each has a different reason for venturing out in such tumultuous times-fear, greed, family secrets. Is the Werewolf of Bedburg still alive, roaming the countryside and killing innocent citizens? Many believe he's still out there-that religious and political leaders have forsaken the truth in their cunning quest for power. As each traveler searches for individual answers, these three seemingly separate stories converge in a place which may hold the key for them all. Based on true events involving one of the deadliest witch trials in European history, this tale of adventure, mystery, and the search for truth reminds us that, ultimately, no one is safe . . . in the company of wolves.
