He needs to build a pack of supernatural killers to support him in his battle against Tekax, a sorcerer and long-time rival of Thal&#8217;s father. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thal stood in the open window with his fur across his chest. The late fall snows had given way to clear weather. Rosy sunlight highlighted the mountains, and the snow melted back from the trees. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In his palm, he admired the light glittering on a moonstone ring. The smooth gem beckoned his attention. He wondered who had crafted the ring, but he thought most about the man whose dead finger he had taken it from. He had counted Rotfeng as an enemy but had desired for their relationship to be otherwise. Thal had tried to impose his will upon the dangerous werewolf but had been denied the chance to know if his influence would have converted the werewolf to an ally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sun sank behind a peak, and the colors in the moonstone faded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altea came alongside him. \u201cAre you intending to wear that?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d he said quickly and closed his hand over the ring. \u201cI was thinking about what is to be done tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not too late if you wish to change your mind,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thal put an arm around her shoulders. \u201cThat is your desire is it not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altea knew better than to attempt to lie to him when her turmoil was so close to the surface. \u201cI\u2019m afraid of what is to come,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI share in this fear,\u201d he said. \u201cBut a pack will strengthen our position. In the battles to come, I must have allies. My decision is made.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His final statement struck Altea hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reassure her, he said, \u201cYou make me wish I were only a man.\u201d He kissed her. The soft press of his lips and the firm power of his body dissolved her concerns for a moment, but she did not believe him. His animal self mattered to him. He would never be a domesticated man. His heart would always be wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou wish no such thing,\u201d she scolded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou matter most to me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although kindly spoken, the words sounded like he was reminding himself instead of declaring his devotion with certainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But certainty gripped her heart with sudden force. Thal had said his decision was made, and now she made one for herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pistol jumped off their bed and went to the door just before someone knocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour father summons you,\u201d Mileko announced from the hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altea gripped his hands. \u201cLet us go,\u201d she said resolutely, which he interpreted as her permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarputeen received them in his study. His head was freshly shaven, and palpable excitement had replaced his usual ominous calm. He welcomed Thal eagerly and ushered him into a chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a hand resting on his son\u2019s shoulder, he said, \u201cListen closely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thal looked up at him expectantly, ready to receive knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarputeen told Mileko to take the volunteers to the place of changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll await you, Master,\u201d Mileko said. He dipped his head reverently and departed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAh, it\u2019s good to see him on his feet again,\u201d Sarputeen commented. \u201cYou did well to rescue him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI accept his importance to you,\u201d Thal said, and Sarputeen believed that his son\u2019s attitude toward the man had thawed a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow you must focus on your pack. They will need your guidance. You must be firm with them this night,\u201d Sarputeen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo you think they will resist me?\u201d Thal wondered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey will not resist your leadership,\u201d his father said and grabbed a dark glass bottle off his desk. \u201cThis potion will ensure your mastery. There will be no undoing your claim upon them once you bite them. You\u2019ll drink it at the spot I\u2019ve prepared in the forest. Once we gather, I\u2019ll tell the volunteers to scatter. This ritual must feel like a hunt. You must track and pursue them. Make them afraid in their final moment before you strike. This fear will make the magic greater.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WerewolfCastleCover.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"673\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WerewolfCastleCover-673x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-284\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6572265625;width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/stsp\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img\/https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WerewolfCastleCover-673x1024.jpeg 673w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/stsp\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img\/https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WerewolfCastleCover-197x300.jpeg 197w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/stsp\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img\/https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WerewolfCastleCover-768x1168.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/stsp\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img\/https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WerewolfCastleCover-1010x1536.jpeg 1010w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/stsp\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img\/https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WerewolfCastleCover-1347x2048.jpeg 1347w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/stsp\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img\/https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WerewolfCastleCover.jpeg 1509w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read this historical fantasy today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/books2read.com\/werewolfcastle\">https:\/\/books2read.com\/werewolfcastle<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to an excerpt from historical fantasy novel Werewolf Castle as Thal prepares to make more werewolves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":284,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,3,5],"tags":[9,12],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Fear will make the magic greater.&#039; Werewolf Castle Video Preview and Excerpt &raquo; Falbe Publishing<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/2023\/11\/25\/fear-will-make-the-magic-greater-werewolf-castle-video-preview-and-excerpt\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"&#039;Fear will make the magic greater.&#039; Werewolf Castle Video Preview and Excerpt &raquo; Falbe Publishing\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Listen to an excerpt from historical fantasy novel Werewolf Castle as Thal prepares to make more werewolves.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/2023\/11\/25\/fear-will-make-the-magic-greater-werewolf-castle-video-preview-and-excerpt\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Falbe Publishing\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-11-25T01:42:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/stsp\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img\/https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WerewolfCastleCover.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1509\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"2295\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Administrator\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Administrator\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/2023\/11\/25\/fear-will-make-the-magic-greater-werewolf-castle-video-preview-and-excerpt\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/2023\/11\/25\/fear-will-make-the-magic-greater-werewolf-castle-video-preview-and-excerpt\/\",\"name\":\"'Fear will make the magic greater.'
