The non-presistence of memory part the many-eth

[flemmings]

I could go ask at whatwasthatbook but my information is sparse. There's a clan of werewolves in Scotland with an old laird heading it up. No females allowed (possibly because there *are* no female werewolves?) but the clan has a strong-willed housekeeper / laird's sister/ something of the sort, who walks into the top councils anyway. Memory says I was reading this about the same time as The Anubis Gates; is there any hope it *is* The Anubis Gates?

I don't know what it is, but it is definitely not in any way The Anubis Gates.

See answer below. Perhaps not Scottish wolves at all, just 'odd geographical locale' and organized into all-male clans. Don't suppose that rings any bells?

It sounds like the Gail Carriger "-less" series, I think.

I believe the reason for a lack of female werewolves in that series is that far fewer females than males manage to make the transition, and given that they die otherwise, most of those who can initiate the possible-transition are unwilling to take the chance with female candidates, however willing the candidate may be.

I'm probably mixing memories of Carriger into this, but I know it's not her because I read the series only last August and still have the characters fairly clear in my mind. The Scottish werewolves-- were perhaps not Scottish; that's the confusion. Russian, maybe? Scandinavian? German? Some odd country of an AU Europe? And not a major plot point either.

Which messiness is what said Powers to me.
