When Brohem (Bro-uhm) was turned, his memory was erased and he fell in love with his sister. As werewolves are illegal, when he was discovered he was thrown into the fortress Frinary. This torture stronghold is filled with his kind and the smell of death. Ira, his younger sister, comes to save him but is captured herself as an accomplice to lycanthropy. While free, Brohem's wolf takes over, and he flees; a pack of lycanthropes takes him in. However, once in his right mind once more, he can't forget about Ira and how she saved him. He escapes the pack and turns back, against the will of his wolf half, and encounters the nobleman, Akia, hunting in the woods. After a battle that is only stopped by Brohem's thoughts of Ira, Akia tracks Brohem back to Frinary.
