The Wolf Queen by Kelley Heckart
My score: 4 of 5 stars

The Wolf Queen is a re-telling of the Greek Fable about King Lycaon, the werewolf of Arcadia.

On this adaption the story begins with Alara, a princess who runs away from her power-hungry betrothed who needs to make use of her to create a military of invincible warriors. She seeks the assistance of the legendary King Lycaon, hoping he might help her to return dwelling.

Like all good tales of this kind there are twists and turns and the gods and their servants combat over proper and fallacious and battles are ever-pending. Nymphs, guardians, satyrs, wolves and an attention-grabbing vampire all have elements on this story, whereas gods Zeus and Artemis hover within the background. The story additionally has a ‘Magnificence and the Beast’ theme and I can simply see how the tales of outdated have descended into our modern-day tales.

I favored the traditional setting and the magical traits, particularly these of the nymphs and wolves.
