| Summary | "Sudenmorsian : Hiidenmaalainen tarina" by Aino Kallas is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Aalo, the wife of the forest ranger Priidik, who is drawn into a dark transformation and becomes embroiled in witchcraft and the lore of werewolves. The narrative intertwines themes of love, the supernatural, and the conflict between good and evil within the backdrop of a historical setting in Hiidenmaa. The opening of the story sets a foreboding tone, introducing readers to the dire circumstances in which Aalo exists. The tale begins with a description of the natural world around her, as well as the increasing menace posed by wolves in the region, reflecting the chaos that grips the land. Aalo is portrayed as a gentle and compassionate figure, showing kindness to the distressed animals around her, yet there is a palpable tension as hints of witchcraft and transformation loom. As Aalo navigates her life with Priidik, a series of mysterious events and dark enchantments begin to unfold, ultimately leading to her tragic metamorphosis into a werewolf — a "Sudenmorsi," marked by loss and the struggle against her emerging inner darkness.
