Charity is on the precipice of marriage to the most handsome man in her small village, the mercurial-yet-beloved Paul Skeld. But as her husband isolates her from Silver Slash, she begins to feel a call to the wilds...for it is there that her true destiny awaits. WIFWULF is the harrowing tale of a woman forcibly separated from that which makes her feel alive, a reinterpretation of the classic werewolf myth... and the origin story of a new goddess.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A successfully funded, beloved project on Kickstarter, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWIFWULF\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e explores a few facets of trauma but especially speaks to relationship abuse, something that has touched more than one member of the creative team.
