A haunting YA novel about fear, pain, and the unraveling fight to stay in control, when the danger stalking you is terrifyingly real.
Fifteen-year-old Asher Salazar knows exactly what he wants: a future that makes sense. One where he's happy, successful, and nothing like the hollow adults he sees around him. He's built the perfect plan to get there, if he stays focused and does everything just right.
But then a mysterious, menacing wolf starts following him.
The catch? Only Asher can see or hear it.
But he's not imagining things. The wolf is real. And Asher has the scars to prove it.
As fear tightens its grip, Asher's carefully laid plans begin to unravel. The more he tries to stay in control, the more brutal, and unpredictable, the attacks become. And the more isolated he feels.
Who is this vicious creature that threatens to break his body and mind? And how far will Asher go to stop the wolf that hunts him?
A gripping young adult novel with a chilling supernatural twist and an emotionally raw core. Perfect for readers who love dark coming-of-age stories, emotionally charged suspense, and character-driven fiction with a physical edge.
