1885. The District of Alberta, Canada. Fletcher Monroe sits in a jail cell in a remote fort, sentenced to hang for sedition. When two French trappers arrive at the fort with arrow-riddled bodies, Fletcher is given a reprieve if he'll lead a tracking party into the Canadian Rockies after the Blackfoot warriors responsible. Problem is, the men he's leading are the Rangers who captured him. And their captain wants nothing more than to see him dead. Joining the party are the two French trappers, a hulking Mounted Police sergeant, and a reporter looking for an adventure.
Fletcher catches up to the Blackfoot high in a forested mountain pass. The rangers attack with gleeful brutality, cutting down the Indians without mercy. Fletcher rescues a young woman, Grace, held captive by the Blackfoot. With the Indians dead, the tracking party camps for the night. The trappers take the opportunity to set bear traps in hopes of making the trip profitable. Later that night, the camp is awakened by the unearthly howls of an animal caught in a trap. Fletcher, the trappers, and several rangers go to investigate. They discover is a beast over six feet tall, five-hundred-pounds, covered in short, dense fur, its leg mangled in a bear trap. The beast stands upright and looks like a giant wolf. One of the trappers gets too close. The beast rips out his throat. The others open fire, killing the beast.
The next morning, Fletcher and the others awake to find their horses slaughtered. The only clue is the footprint of a creature similar to the one they killed, only bigger. Much bigger.
The hunters become the hunted as they’re pursued by a deadly warrior bent on revenge. A warrior who can shape shift into something else. Something frightening. One by one, the tracking party is murdered as they make their way down the mountain. Now, two mortal enemies must join forces to defeat the monster who moves as silent as a breeze and kills without mercy. A monster who sees Grace as a replacement for the mate he just lost.
