Two families, one human and one of wolves, share the hills of the Moravian Carpathians. The wolf pack has fled hunters and shepherds in Slovakia and is slowly making a home here, staying out of sight. Wolves, the book reminds us, pair for life and bring up their young in families, much as people do, though they never traded their freedom for life with humans as dogs did. For a long time the two households live side by side without meeting, until their stories edge closer and in the end strangely merge, against the faint music of old legends and ballads.
