Egelric, Part Three: The Wolf

The next five years of Egelric’s life are ever more closely bound up with the world of the elves, in ties of friendship, hatred, fear, and love. We also see the first ominous signs of the monster lurking in his depths.

During these five years he drifts away from Gunnilda, and we are left with a sense that what was there is gone forever.

This storyline ends when Egelric enters his house on Christmas Eve in 1080 and finds everything wrong.
