Have you ever heard of the Blood Prince?  Well, once every generation or so, the Blood Prince stalks the village of Miersk in Russia.  It is a great wolf who devours bodies, steals souls and generally terrifies the population.  This time, two young children, Pasha and Lisette, set out to destroy the Blood Prince.  But, the villagers have come to believe that the wolf is just part of legend.  He couldn't possibly exist.  How can that be possible?  Can two young children defeat the creature that strikes such fear into the entire village that they refuse to believe it exits?
