The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt

Description: Into decadent Rome of the Dark Ages comes Regeana, an enigmatic young woman distantly related to Charlemagne. But the blood she has inherited from her father makes her much more than a child of royalty. Regeane is a shapeshifter-woman and wolf, hunter and hunted-possessed of preternatural agility and strength, primal memories extending back thousands of years, and senses so keen they can pierce the veil of death itself.

Betrothed to a barbarian lord she has never seen, Regeane is surrounded by enemies. But outside the gates of ROme, baying at the moon, there is a mysterious dark wolf whose scent awakens the animal in Regeane. Now, as deadly plots tighten like a noose around her neck, Regeane must fight to live with dignity as the proud creature she is: civilized and savage, partaking of both, yet infinitely more than either . . .
