The Wolf Leader

A man makes a devil's bargain with a mysterious wolf in one of the first werewolf novels ever written from the author of The Three Musketeers.

When the shoemaker Thibault is unjustly abused by the Lord of Vez, he encounters an unlikely chance at revenge. A huge wolf approaches him, walking upright on its hind legs, and offers Thibault a pact. Every time he wishes harm on another man, the wolf will grant the wish, in exchange for one of Thibault's hairs.
