    <body><![CDATA[Set in the Rome of the Dark Ages, Regeane is a shape-shifter, a gift inherited from her father. After her mother's death she is raised by her uncle, a cruel man bent on using Regeane, who is distantly related to the great Charlemagne, to better his own station in life. She is betrothed to a barbarian lord she's never met and surrounded by enemies on all sides while she struggles to accept the wolf half of herself.<br/><br/>This book was filled with too much political intrigue for my taste. I'm not really a fan of werewolves to begin with. Once another werewolf is introduced about three quarters of the way through the book the story picked up, but until then it's a dull recounting of how much this girl's life sucks. Not only does she have to deal with her cruel uncle, abusing her at every chance she gets, she's too stupid to get away from him until it's almost too late. And even then she returns to him, thinking that she has nowhere else to go. As far as characters go, Regeane lacks common sense, even while she uses her intelligence to deal with politics and her betrothal, not to mention magic as she attempts the impossible.]]></body>
