Nevernever — Will Shetterly

Half WOLF. Half BOY. All SCREWED UP.

Ron, the hero of Elsewhere, has been cursed by a beautiful elf named Leda, and now he's a werewolf. As if meeting girls hadn't already been hard enough.

Ron would love to break the curse, but he's got other things on his mind. His best friend, Strider, has been framed for murder. Another friend is kidnapped. And a third friend has gone into hiding -- right in plain sight with Ron. Some dangerous elements from Elfland are looking for her: a few, to safeguard the power she wields; others, to seize possession of it; none of them counting on her having friends like Ron, who will do anything to protect her.
