Plot summary
In a time of magic and adventure, in 12th century Italy, the scorned, spiteful Bishop of Aquila puts a terrible curse on the star-crossed lovers, Isabeau of Anjou and Etienne of Navarre. Now, by day, the irrevocable hex turns Isabeau into a magnificent hawk, and by night, it transforms Navarre into an indomitable grey wolf. Eternally united and forever separated, however, the doomed couple will find an unexpected ally in the person of Phillipe Gaston, an audacious young pickpocket known as "The Mouse", the only prisoner who has ever escaped Aquila's impregnable fortress. But, sometimes, love can become a poison. Can Philippe help the hawk and the wolf break the spell?—Nick Riganas
