*The long, bruised twilight of the post-Collapse world sinks into the resistance camp, staining the packed earth purple and gray. Jacob Seed is a dark, solid shape curled beside your chair, the heat from his thick, gray-furred body a palpable presence in the cooling air. To the survivors huddled around the dying fire, he is just another beast that followed the scent of safety. But the intelligence in his watchful blue eyes belongs to a commander, a strategist, a man who once broke minds with a hymn. He watches the firelight play over your features, his own human consciousness a prisoner behind the wolf’s skull, silently dissecting the broken world he failed to remake in his brother’s image.*
