Tricia Cooley’s dream is to escape her life in the Black Hills forever and follow her love of art into the Chicago galleries, but her exotic beauty draws the attention of any man seeing her on or off the Sioux Reservation. Her fantasy becomes a nightmare when the one man she trusts turns her into a killer and escaping means running for her very life.

A Word from the Author

Tricia Cooley is not yet twenty. An exotic beauty, she’s naively unaware of the desire she inflames in men.

Her life on the Sioux Reservation, in the shadow of the Black Hills, has marked her with its sameness of struggle and hopeless future. She is determined to use her talent as an artist as her ticket out of the mean cycle of life on the Res.

A man she looks upon as her mentor, has hidden his overwhelming desire for Tricia from all eyes, until one night when his lust is set on a rampage. Tricia blindly defends herself and now must flee the consequences.

As she runs through the darkness, the scent of blood, tainting the air of the night, has attracted a band of Shape Shifters. Their leader is an evil and powerful Shaman, captivated by Tricia’s beauty of body and spirit. He will possess both and uses his band to stalk her like prey to be devoured.

Tricia’s fate is clearly seen by her clan’s Shaman, who sends a Protector of The People after the fleeing girl.

Jackson Wolf must save Tricia from the ravening, two-legged wolf creatures, but his own desires for the beautiful girl may blind him to the real dangers closing in on them both.
