Abstract

The Origin of Wolves is a novel that explores one woman’s struggle to save her family while trapped between two opposing forces—her biological family who have spent generations hunting werewolves, and her marital family who are the wolves being hunted. In an effort to save her children from death, Adda gets a job at a private school that hides a hunter training academy, thinking she will be able to discover the hunters’ secrets and erase her family from their records. But when things go very badly, she is forced into hiding until she can find another way to stop the hunters, who are technically her family too, before everyone she knows and loves are murdered by people who believe they are saving the world.
