In the Meandering Line Dmitri Kovtun was a man on his last legs. As a wolfen, a werewolf, he had been taken as a slave by the evil vampire Blago. Beaten and whipped into submission Dmitri had suffered for nearly three decades beneath the iron talons of this demon nightwalker.
Then an outsider came to his aid. Von Trapp, a man who had once been in a similar state of anguish, freed the beleaguered Russian by slaying his cruel master. But what put the brow beaten, alcoholic and depression riddled Dmitri onto this horrible path in the first place?
In this companion piece set long before the Meandering Line, the story of where Dmitri began and the choices thrust upon him become clear. Just what tragedies lie in the wolfen’s past that would send him down dark pathways to this terrible future? And what part does Fate itself play in the unfolding life of a wolf who would be King?
