Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Night of the Wolf


A gray wolf catches sight of a beautiful woman named Imona. Her beauty and grace awaken the man, Maeniel, inside the wolf. The Roman empire is under Julius Caesers' rule and the country fears him. A warrior woman by the name of Dryas is set out to find and kill Maeniel for all the Roman soldiers he killed when they attacked Imona's family and took Imona. Dryas finds him, makes love to him, but does not kill him. Dryas is found by Fulvia, a "harpy" who plans on taking Dryas to Rome to fight for the amusement of Caeser and Cleopatra. Dryas faces both tiger and boar but does not die.
