Good vs. Evil, bad elves, unlikely hero's, changelings, a zombie and a white witch are all tied up with a beginning of a spectacular steam-punk series. This book sets up a struggling world for civilization and the people caught up with survival.

The main character, Cedar Hunt, is not a man who is accepted in the rural community. He is running from his personal pain of losing his wife and child. While running he and his brother are cursed by some local gods to hunt and kill "the Strange" and become shape-shifting wolves. He finds himself trying to do right even against his own nature and the local community. This story starts with Hunt and bridges to lives that come in contact with him. The book has a good feel for outcasts and relies on the hope that an individual can go against current/popular opinion to do the right thing.

This book is edgy, quick, and I couldn't put it down until I finished it.
