Fear has come to the Virginia frontier... and it walks like a man.
Autumn, 1787.
Fairfax County is finally at peace after the long war for independence-until something in the woods begins to kill.
A young boy is found torn apart along an old mill road.
Weeks earlier, a trapper met the same fate.
Livestock vanish. Whispers spread. And with every passing night, the people of Millhaven grow more certain of one thing:
This is no ordinary killer.
John Davidson, a former Revolutionary War scout turned investigator, is called to uncover the truth. Armed with sharp instincts and a mind trained for evidence-not superstition-he begins to follow a trail that defies reason.
A massive footprint.
Claw marks no animal should leave behind.
And a reclusive soldier, newly returned from the western frontier... a man who fears what he becomes under the full moon.
As the next full moon rises, Davidson must confront a terrifying possibility:
What if the monster is real?
And what if it still remembers who it once was?
In a race against time-and against something far stronger than any man-Davidson prepares for a final encounter that will test his courage, his judgment, and his humanity.
