| Empire of Wild by Cherie DimalineWhat happens: A year after her husband Victor disappears following an argument, Joan Beausoleil encounters him at a tent revival, calling himself Reverend Wolff (and denying any knowledge of Victor).
But... Is it really him? A Canadian Métis elder believes he's been possessed by a rogarou; Joan comes to agree and determines to track the half-man, half-wolf creature and save her husband.
Read it for: suspenseful, haunting descriptions; immersion into the stories of the Métis Nation in Canada (the author is a member); an understanding of the threat the Métis are under by those who desire their land. |
