Two centuries after a terrifying encounter in the polar wilderness, Tulli, a quiet millworker in the Idaho town of Valleys End, has learned to cage his monthly transformations behind steel and stone - until a local boy is torn apart and the townspeople start whispering about the "mark of the wolf" on the back of his neck. As fear turns to hysteria, more children vanish, and a grieving father hunts the killer. Meanwhile, a ruthless human predator uses the werewolf legend as perfect cover for an even darker crime. Caught between his bloodline curse and the girl who refuses to believe he's a monster, Tulli must decide if he will keep running or embrace the very thing he fears most to track down the real evil before the next full moon rises. Giacomo Giammatteo lives in Texas, where he and his wife run an animal sanctuary and take care of 41 loving rescues. By day, he works as a headhunter in the medical device industry, and at night, he writes.
