The Legendary Folklore Chronicles: Book Five — The Revelations of Wolf-Man

He was marked long before the curse found him. Drawn to the natural world and the secrets hidden within it, a young man journeys into the Carpathian Mountains in search of the legendary Mariphasa—a bloom whispered to hold impossible power. What begins as a pursuit of knowledge soon leads him into a wilderness ruled by ancient forces and unspoken laws. In the shadows of the forest, an encounter leaves him changed. Strength seeps into his blood. Instinct sharpens. Dreams grow violent and vivid, blurring the line between what is imagined and what is awakening within him. As the truth of his transformation slowly reveals itself, he is forced to confront a devastating realization: the monster he fears may not be stalking him from the dark—but rising from within. Haunted by loss and burdened by guilt, he returns to a world that will never understand what he has become. Legends will reduce him to a creature of the moon. The truth is far more human—and far more tragic. The Revelations of Wolf-Man is a dark, intimate exploration of inherited darkness, fractured identity, and the price of surviving when others do not. Some curses are bitten. Others are awakened.
