Clans of werewolves have been with us for thousands of years, but it all began on the banks of the Tiber River in 771 BC. A Lonely shepherd found twin baby boys suckling at the teat of a she wolf. He brought them home and raised them as his own. On the boys 16th birthday they discovered the horrible truth about themselves. What they are. One loves the rush of power and wants to create an army, the other wants to stop him. This is the tale of Romulus and Remus. A story of awareness, revenge, love and violence. Good versus evil. A historical drama that spans the ages and gives us the story of the birth of Rome written in the crimson reds of royal blood on the ghostly sands of time.

The novel starts in the pre-Roman era. A wolf-god impregnates a woman and dies when his two offspring are born. They are originally taken in by a wolf before being adopted by a man and woman who can’t have their own children. The story fast forwards to Romulus and Remus in their early teens and the wolves within them begin to manifest. Romulus fully embraces this aspect of himself. Remus, on the other hand, rejects being a werewolf, which sets the brothers at odds. Romulus has a grand plan to raise an army of werewolves and overthrow the king, but Remus won’t have any of it.
I loved how the author retold this mythical almost exactly the way it happened according to legend, yet still incorporated the brothers being werewolves. The characterization in this novel was very strong as was the plot. I like the struggle between the brothers and how there wasn’t one who was obviously right or obviously wrong. Each one of them had elements that I could agree with or disagree with. The buildup and the climax were strong. There was little that I found to quibble about and mostly just enjoyed the ride. This is a must read novel.
