Thane Wulf is a Hamrammr and beta of a wolf pack that guards and protects the town called Refuge. He is on his way home after a long year away when he suffers an accident on the road and is left comatose in a small town hospital. When he wakes, he finds that the town is overrun by creatures that make the night seem like an unpleasant place to dwell. He searches for survivors and takes them in as his pack, eventually leading them to his hometown where more chaos is about to start. The town of Refuge will never be the same.
