Constantinople... Istanbul... The Queen of Cities... No matter what name you call it by, it is the City; magical, unique, wonderful, baptized in the mysteries of the East! In this place, Theano is born. A girl who carries within her something of the City's magic and something of its rebellious spirit. Theano will grow up, fall in love, and get married. On the night of September 6, 1955, she will find herself in the whirlwind of the Istanbul pogrom. A dark page in the history of the Greeks of the City is written with the blood of many. Theano also becomes a victim of Turkish brutality. When she recovers, nothing will be the same as before. A she-wolf will be born that night, and anyone who approaches her to harm her from now on will be torn apart by her sharp teeth. Ten years later, Theano will experience the nightmare of deportation to Greece and the pain of uprooting, and she will face racism and suspicion. The she-wolf will awaken again, and those who are to blame will pay dearly. Or will the innocent also pay? A story about a woman who experienced love and hate, and became a wild beast for the sake of her loved ones.
