A mystical detective story with the atmosphere of American folklore—for those who feel at home with the spirit of the TV series "Supernatural."
In a small town in the north of the United States, local college professors and students vanish one after another. Soon, they are found with grotesquely mutilated bodies—as if torn apart by wild beasts.
Sophomore Caira Lawton is convinced: the animal theory is just a cover hiding the real killer. Caira’s suspicions fall on the new student, Lester North—a unnaturally tall guy who keeps disappearing and too often ends up near the crime scenes. But Lester insists: it’s not a person—something else has appeared at the college: a wendigo, a cannibal from Indigenous legends.
At first, Caira and her friends don’t take these stories seriously. But after facing the monster face-to-face, it becomes clear: the legends aren’t made up… and only someone who is not quite human can deal with the wendigo.
"Love can turn into darkness and threat if you give your heart to a monster. And if you’ve already fallen in love—pray that the wendigo curse from Algonquin myths, devouring not only flesh but also the soul, hasn’t touched you. Because the one hiding in the dark sometimes lures in stronger than everyone else. Be prepared—the hunt for the wendigo is only just beginning…" – Sasha Hellmeister, author of the series "Hunters and victims"
