Youth, beauty, wealth, and knowledge are offered to an old and despairing man-but the price of the bargain is a monstrous curse.Alone and impoverished in the Black Forest, the aged Fernand Wagner encounters the mysterious Faust, who offers to restore everything that time has taken from him. Wagner accepts and is transformed into a young, handsome, and powerful man. Yet his miraculous renewal conceals a terrible fate: once each month, he must become a savage werewolf, driven by an unnatural force beyond his control. When his travels eventually lead him to Florence, Wagner becomes entangled in the dark affairs of the Riverola family and falls passionately in love with the beautiful and formidable Nisida.What follows is a sprawling Gothic adventure of forbidden love, murder, vengeance, secret chambers, banditti, shipwreck, imprisonment, the Inquisition, supernatural temptation, and demonic power. Haunted by the consequences of his bargain and pursued by forces seeking possession of his immortal soul, Wagner must struggle against both the beast imposed upon his body and the darkness threatening his spirit. Rich in horror, romance, mystery, and sensational adventure, George W. M. Reynolds’s Wagner, the Wehr-Wolf is a dramatic tale of temptation and redemption in which the greatest battle is not against the monster without, but the evil that seeks to conquer the soul.
