What compels a man to risk his life to join a wolf pack? To eat alongside them, endure their bites, and learn their language? In this gripping narrative, Shaun Ellis recounts how his life transformed upon encountering a wolf for the first time. He shares his journey from his childhood in Norfolk, England, through survival training with British Army Special Forces, to the Nez Percé Indian lands in Idaho, where he lived with a wolf pack for nearly two years. Ellis provides a remarkable insight into the lives of these misunderstood creatures, detailing his raw diet, infrequent washing, and the necessity of defending his share of kills. He describes how he communicated with the pack through howls and body language, eventually mirroring their behaviors. His observations reveal the intricacies of wolf life, including how they give birth, raise their young, and maintain order within the pack. After years in the wild, Ellis barely recognized the feral reflection in the mirror. This account unveils the life of a unique individual who forsook civilization yet maintained his humanity, offering readers an extraordinary glimpse into the bond between man and wolf.
