    About this ebook

    The Blood Wolf prowls near the village of Stonebriar at night. She devours chickens and goats and cows and cats. Some say children are missing. But this murderous wolf isn’t the villain of our story, she’s the hero!

    The Blood Wolf hates humankind for destroying the forest, but an encounter with a beggar teaches her a better way to confront injustice. How will she react when those she loves are threatened?

    This imaginative retelling of the legend of Saint Francis and the Wolf explores what it means to be a peacemaker in the midst of violence and how to restore a healthy relationship with creation.

    Settle in and read a tale of tooth and sword, of beggars and lords, of outlaws and wild beasts. It is a story of second chances and the power of love. This is the story of A Wolf at the Gate.

      This book is wonderful tale concerning a Red Wolf and her meeting with St Francis of Assisi. It was very entertaining and I enjoyed it a lot. We first meet the Red Wolf as a pup who is raised by her loving parents teaching her how to be a good wolf. Her parents tell her to avoid the humans who live in a village near the woods, but with the humans living so near and the fact that they take food from the wolf pack, this causes conflict in the pack once the Red Wolf becomes pack leader.As the story goes on, the red wolf becomes a most feared predator who steals livestock from the villagers. However, the Beggar King makes an appearance and changes the red wolf's life. As I mentioned earlier, this book is a wonderful book mainly written for children but I loved it! The book has a lot of life lessons in and is wonderfully touching. I would recommend this book to everybody.I received a free copy of this e-book in exchange for an honest review.
