"The Wolf Demon; or, The Queen of the Kanawha" by Albert W. Aiken is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set against a backdrop of turmoil and conflict between indigenous tribes and settlers, the story follows a cast of characters caught in the struggle for survival and power amid mystique and horror. Key figures include the formidable hunter Daniel Boone, the young and beautiful Virginia Treveling, and a mysterious entity known as the Wolf Demon, whose brutal attacks create havoc for the Shawnee tribe. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the eerie, atmospheric setting of the wilderness, where nature's beauty is contrasted with the lurking danger represented by the Wolf Demon, a creature with the body of a wolf and the face of a man. The narrative quickly shifts to the tense interactions between Daniel Boone and a fellow hunter named Abe Lark, who both witness a horrific murder committed by this supernatural entity. The scene culminates with the introduction of Virginia and Harvey Winthrop, who discover their feelings for each other, only to be interrupted by violence and impending danger. The opening effectively sets the stage for a thrilling saga filled with adventure, romance, and a fight against unseen malevolent forces. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
