Sawyer Reynolds is just passing through Castor on a road to nowhere when he is caught up in the small town's annual "Celebration of the Beast" festivities.  He regards the celebration as strange but assumes he only takes the disposition because he is not a Castor native.  That is, until five bodies are recovered the next morning on the outskirts of the town, strikingly close to his motel.  Suspicions rise around Sawyer, and he soon finds himself reeling with the uncovering of local legends and the appearance of dangerous beasts.  He wants to leave, but after what he's seen, and after the strange girl he's met - Hapsey, he can't find it in himself to leave the town when he knows he can help.

Hapsey Aims is the famous "girl from the woods."  At the tender age of four, she was found wandering in the woods close to town by the benevolent Mr. and Mrs. Aims, who generously took her in.  After she was found, the attacks ceased, and the wolves only came to Castor on a full moon, the only time they lacked control.  Because of this, Hapsey has been plagued with the town's suspicion for the majority of her life.  But when a handful of teens are found dead in the aftermath of the "Celebration of the Beast" the townspeople's suspicion piques, and for the first time ever, Hapsey finds she is not their only target.

The beasts have not entered Castor or killed a Castor resident on a new moon in fifteen years, but now they're walking amongst humans, wolves in sheep's clothing.  Castor has never taken well to strangers, but if you pass through at this time, you're a dead man walking.

A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers. ***** It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life. [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]
