The King's Wolf

The King's Wolf is a queer medieval fantasy retelling of the 12th century Breton lai "Bisclavret" by Marie de France. My version of the story seeks to expand upon and make explicit the queerness that can be found in the original text. As such, The King's Wolf is, at its core, a romance between a werewolf and his king. The novel is still in the early stages of development. Included here are the first three chapters, told from the perspectives of two of the central characters, as well as a craft statement detailing how the story came to be and some of the challenges I have faced thus far in its development.
