In the heart of Appalachia, a monstrous evil emerges from the woods, while the otherworldly Tufa community is entangled in a web of secrets and betrayal.
"Beautifully written, surprisingly moving, and unexpected in the best of ways." —Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author
When young Tufa woman Kera Rogers vanishes during a hike in the woods near Needsville, her half-eaten remains are soon discovered. Hunters find the culprits: a horde of wild hogs led by a massive boar with seemingly supernatural strength.
As Kera's boyfriend Duncan Gowen grieves, he uncovers evidence of her infidelity with his best friend Adam Procure. But when Adam's body is the next to be found, Duncan becomes a suspect. Is he to blame, or is the monstrous swine the true killer?
As winter descends and determined hunters pursue the beasts across the Appalachians, the Tufa seek answers behind the deaths. In this captivating blend of fantasy, mystery, and folklore, what truths will be revealed come spring?
Dive into Alex Bledsoe's enchanting Tufa novels, where music and magic intertwine:
