In the shadow of an abandoned castle, a wolf pack seeks shelter. The she-wolf is about to give birth, and her pups could not survive exposure to the bitter Transylvanian winter. But something more threatening than snow and wind stalks the pack -- a lone wolf, Morgra, possessed of a mysterious and terrifying power known as the Sight. And with her travels a raven, a bird that feeds on the dead. Morgra's arts show her that one of the pups born beneath the castle holds a key to power even stronger than her own -- power that could give her control of this world and the next. Her soul, eaten up by the memory of an old crime, longs for this ultimate dominion. But the pack she hunts is brave and loving. They will do anything to protect their own, even if it means setting in motion a battle that will involve all of nature, including the creature wolves fear the most -- Man. David Clement-Davies' debut novel, Fire Bringer, was hailed as "a masterpiece of animal fantasy" (Booklist) and "a hurtling ride" (Kirkus Reviews). In The Sight, he explores the landscape of our fairy tales and nightmares in the company of animals whose capacities for loyalty and savagery mirror our own. Book jacket.

David Clement-Davies traveled to Romania in the winter of 1990. The darkness of the country's recent history, its many tales and superstitions from Dracula to local folklore, gave this book its direction. The writing of The Sight was done in a little mountain house in the Andalucia region of Spain, where Mr. Clement-Davies lives for much of the year.
