A woman that was living a normal, mundane existence with her fiancé is thrust into a world that she isn’t equipped to deal with. Her life is shattered, and she must pick up the pieces with the help of a strange man that appears in her room.
• Samantha is a woman that finds herself attacked by what she can only describe as a Werewolf.
• After the attack, she is taken to the hospital, where she meets an old man who can answer her questions.
• She finds out the bite of the wolf will transform her into something that is no longer human.
• Samantha is given a way to suppress the change, and she begins to learn what goes bump in the night. The lies we tell one another are going to be cold comfort for her on her quest of vengeance.
• There is very little chance to train, as the werewolf and its pack are about to leave.
• This will be a journey that is fraught with danger and unpredictable, because the wolves know that she is coming and are ready for her, or so they think.
• It will be a learning experience for Samantha, as she comes to terms with what she is and what she can do.
• Her life is turned upside down, and all she sees is the bloodlust to find the wolf responsible for all that she’s endured.
The time for words is over, now she and the old man are on a trail of a killer that has been known forever, but no one actually knew they existed. Now, Samantha is about to find out first hand that things are not what they appear. This fight will not be without casualties, but will it be their lives, or the wolves’, that are lost?
