The Inuit people call it Amarok, and legend tells of a colossal wolf-beast that stalks the forest in search of human prey, a horror of fur and fangs larger and deadlier than any predator in the Arctic.
Soldotna is the second-largest town on the Kenai Peninsula and a vibrant crossroads of rugged mountains, emerald forests, and boundless adventure, where small-town charm meets the untamed wild. But when a volunteer is killed at the local wolf sanctuary, and signs of a strange creature are found at the scene, whispers of the bloodbath at Terror Lake two years earlier spread through the town.
Wildlife Trooper Brynn Qavvik is assigned to the investigation, but the situation soon spirals out of control. As the Northern Lights Winter Challenge approaches, local hero Trooper Terry Wyatt is brought in to assist, and together they search for answers buried beneath folklore, evidence, and fear as panic tightens its grip. But as competitors and spectators descend on the wilderness, Brynn discovers she’s gone from hunter to hunted.
From the author of Terror Lake comes a new cryptid horror thriller where ancient legend awakens, the hunt turns deadly, and every track in the mud may be your last.
