A driver's life is a quiet one. Cities pass like hazy memories, and people even faster. Andrei, a lost and bitter young man in a strange land, seeks reprieve from the solitude and monotony of his work. Just then, in a moonlit clearing, a fateful encounter gives his life renewed purpose.

Monika, a volkodlak, a mysterious wolf woman of ancient lore, is trekking across country just to get back home. Through the night, they find in each other a kindred soul, lonely wanderers seeking answers to life's deepest questions. Her, a philosopher who sees everything as part of a vast cosmic order.

Him, a free thinker who refuses to go the beaten path. A sudden offer, unexpected to them both, to give her a ride home, sets them on a weeklong journey. As the kilometers roll by, through mountains and plains, past rivers and valleys to the frigid lands of the north, they share pain, secrets, and a bed. Yet as they grow closer, more and more they see each other's flaws and follies, the cracks in their cultural divide, and the ghosts of their pasts.
Can two strangers, an immigrant and a werewolf, adrift in life, navigate the crossroads of their hearts?

Dark, but not lurid; fantastical, yet grounded; a deep and intimate romance for readers unafraid to think or feel.
