A young, untried Northern baron must somehow defend his vulnerable realm from an invading force strengthened by darkest magic in this magnificent fantasy adventure from a master world builder The second son of the Baron of Fox Keep, Gerin never wanted title or responsibility, but both were thrust on him when his father and brother were ambushed and slain by enemy Trokmê raiders. Leaving behind the urban bustle of Cassat and his studies in philosophy and magic, Gerin the Fox returned home to accept his place among the other barons of the Northern marches—a region secluded from the rest of the Empire of Elabon. But now word is spreading that the Trokmê are returning, led by a powerful new wizard whose magic makes them unstoppable. Keeping his lands and people safe may prove beyond the young lord’s capabilities. Only one choice remains for the Fox: He must set out into the wild and make his way back to the city—for only there can he hope to find a new form of sorcery with which to fight the coming of the Werenight, when men will become monsters. Before Hugo Award winner Harry Turtledove became known far and wide as the king of alternate history, he introduced himself to the world with Werenight, carrying readers into a remarkable realm of war and magic. Filling his fantasy adventure with a colorful cast of unforgettable characters, Turtledove has created a fantastic reality as rich, involving, and imaginative as the histories he later so ingeniously altered.

It was originally published in 1979 as two separate works -- Wereblood and Werenight -- under the pseudonym of Eric Iverson. It was republished -- with some syntactical changes -- in 1994 as a single novel.The Empire of Elabon has long abandoned the northern marches. Only one pass remains unblocked -- but well guarded -- to keep the Trokme out of the Empire. The Empire isn't even collecting taxes from the barons of the northern marches.In this novel, Gerin is the second son of the Baron of Fox Keep in the northern marches. He went to Cassat to become a scholar and a mage. He studied history and natural philosophy for two years and had begun the study of magic. Then his father and older brother were killed in an ambush by the Trokme and he had to return home as the baron.Van is a wanderer from Shanda. He is very large and swift. He has seen much and is proficient in several languages.Ricolf the Red is a baron south of Fox Keep. Gerin had spent some time with Ricolf on his way to Cassat.Elise is the daughter of Baron Ricolf. She definitely has a mind of her own.Wolfar of the Axe is a northern baron. He has more than a touch of wereblood. Gerin suspects him of wicked plans.Rihwin is a Cassat noble. He is visiting the keep of Ricolf.In this story, the Trokmoi have a new wizard with great powers. The wizard has caused a severe rainfall onto Gerin's land and then spanned the Niffet River with a magical, shining bridge.

Gerin defeats the Trokme Chieftain, but his chariot driver is the warlock and sets a demon on Gerin. After the demon is beat down into the mud, the wizard disappears.Gerin and Van head toward Cassat to hire a wizard. On the way, they warn the barons that the Trokmoi will be returning. When they reach the Bevon lands, they discover that civil war has erupted upon the death of the baron. They cautiously hasten through the barony.Ricolf is glad to see Gerin, but disturbed about the news. He is busy choosing a husband for Elise. Gerin had received at invitation, but had to decline because of illness.Elise has grown up since he last saw her. She is also surprising well read in the classics. She and Gerin have several pleasant talks about literature.Ricolf selects Wolfar to be Elise's husband. That night, Elise turns up at Gerin's door prepared to leave the barony. Gerin cannot convince her to stay, so he takes her to Cassat. She leaves a note for her father explaining her actions.They travel through the haunted night until far enough away from the keep. Elise elaborates on her plans to visit her mother's brother. Then Gerin and Van stand watches through the night.When Gerin reaches Cassat, they drop off Elise at her uncle's mansion and head for the Sorcerers' Collegium. After they reach the front of the line, Gerin explains his situation, but is told that no wizards are currently available. He refuses the idea of waiting several months and leaves the school.Gerin wants to get drunk, so he heads for the nearest bar. There he finds Rihwin, who had left Ricolf's lands shortly after the proposed bride fled the scene. Gerin discovers that Rihwin is a trained wizard who hadn't graduate as planned.This tale takes Gerin and his friends back to Fox Keep. On the way, they learn that the Trokme have invaded the north. Refugees crowd the highway.Strange things happened to Gerin. The next installment in this sequence is Prince of the North. These tales are also included in the omnibus Wisdom of the Fox.Highly recommended for Turtledove fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of armed combat, magecraft, and a bit of romance. Read and enjoy!-Arthur W. Jordin
