In a harsh northern land, the towns of men huddle close around the walled keeps of their lords. Those keeps, in turn, look to the wolfhealls for their safety, when the trolls and wyverns come down from the icy mountains to prey on manflesh. The warriors of the wolfhealls are bonded to giant fighting wolves, and to one another. Wolfpack and manpack live together, sharing everything. Once there were many wolfhealls, for once men were winning the land from their enemies. Now the trolls are fewer and come less often, and the lords are reluctant to send their young men to join the wolfheall.
Isolfr is a young nobleman who is called to the pack. At his father's holding there are few men of the right age for bonding, and his father is hostile to the wolfheall. He refuses to send his sons, but Isolfr is deeply drawn to the wolves, choosing to disobey his father and answer their summons.
Life in the pack is very different from Isolfr's gentle upbringing among wolfless men. Discipline is quick and harsh, and his days are filled with work and weapons training. But the wolfheall's ways, though strange, give Isolfr a deep sense of belonging. In this community of men he will find love and acceptance, courage and true honor.
But then the trolls come down from the north in far greater numbers than before, and the holding's complaisance gives way to terror in the dark.
