About the book: 2014 / This world is the same as ours. Almost. The physical geography coincides completely. The political one is a little different from our Middle Ages. Not too important. Technological progress was similar. Not exactly, so era-appropriate rivets are not accepted. There is one fundamental difference. Humans have a recessive gene. Full carriers of this gene can change their appearance at will. No, they don’t become wolves or bears. Facial features do not change very much. But fangs and claws appear that can tear the best steel, short hair on the body. At the same time, werewolves become much faster and stronger. Including speed considerations. All skills acquired by a person are retained in the form. They are called differently in different countries: wildver, berserkers, velet... In some places they are not called at all. And in some places they are not there at all. And they are treated differently. Some save it, some use it. And some people consider it evil spirits. But they are what they are.
