"A haunting story of deep loneliness, raw wounds, wild magic, and the freedom of transformation. Wif. Noun, Old English: A Woman; this word is also the origin from which the word "wife" is derived. Contrast with "wer," a man. Wulf. Noun, Old English: A Wolf, a wild carnivorous mammal of the Canidae family, which lives and hunts in packs. WIFWULF is an original folklore myth telling the story of Charity Bjornsdotter, a young woman in 1860's Montana who spends her days in the woods with her closest friend, a local wolf she calls Silver Slash. Charity is on the precipice of marriage to the most handsome man in her small village, the mercurial-yet-beloved Paul Skeld. But as her husband isolates her from Silver Slash, she begins to feel a call to the wilds... for it is there that her true destiny awaits. WIFWULF is the harrowing tale of a woman forcibly separated from that which makes her feel alive, a reinterpretation of the classic werewolf myth... and the origin story of a new goddess. A successfully funded, beloved project on Kickstarter, WIFWULF explores a few facets of trauma but especially speaks to relationship abuse, something that has touched more than one member of the creative team. It's a story that reminds us that even when you feel at your most monstrous, you can find your way back. But not unchanged. It is also a story about werewolves. About bloody revenge and deep loneliness. About the secret, sad meaning behind the howls we hear from the dark forests on the darkest of nights. Experience this haunting story in the dark of night, in whatever moonlit warren you call home -- or shed your skin, embrace the night, and run wild with magic -- and become forever changed."--
