Full story (spoilers)
Nory, a wolfless pup of the royal Bronze werewolf pack, is banished when his wolf never awakens and he is left to die. Adam, Ben and Cora, three immortal masters, train him for twenty years, and he returns to see his mother. His father demands he place in the top three of the annual tournament before he may see his mother, and his brother Van mocks him. In the first round he shatters the testing stone, and in the physical round he challenges Master Rosade until Rosade unleashes his beast. Nory wins, the Golden pack hails him as their savior, and he leaves without a trace. Facing the vampires, Nory drives their Legendary First Sire back through seven walls. Learning his mother was hurt while saving him, he sets off after the three sacred relics that can make her well. In the end he secures the relics, saves his mother, and claims the throne as wolf king with her beside him.
