Plot Summary of Night of the Wolf
"Night of the Wolf is about a wolf who turns into a man, named Maeniel because of his desire for women. As a human, Maeniel knows nothing but his passion for women. However, Dryas, an "amazon woman" of sorts is summoned to find him and capture him. He soon learns to fight and falls in love with Dryas.
