From the back of the book:

Into decadent Rome of the Dark Ages comes Regeane, and enigmatic young woman distantly related to Charlemagne. But the blood she has inherited from her murdered father makes her much more then a child of royalty. Regeane is a shapeshifter- woman and wolf, hunter and hunted- possessed of preternatural agility and strength, primal memories extending back thousands of years, and senses so keen they can pierce the veil of death itself.

Betrothed to a barbarian lord she has never seen, Regeane is surrounded by enemies. But outside the gates of Rome, baying at the moon, there is a mysterious dark wolf whose scent awakens the animal in Regeane. Now, as deadly plots tighten like a noose around her neck, Regeane must fight civilized and savage, partaking of both, yet infinitely more then either....

This book was very slow going, and very thick, but not an all together bad read. The author is Anne Rice's sister, and their styles are somewhat similar.
