Legend has it that a dark monster walks the woods in Alaska. A beast whose scream can freeze a man’s heart. A beast with a taste for blood . . .

In below freezing temperatures, Reese, his sister Rose, and their school friends set off from the city into the wilderness of Alaska for a winter survival skills camp. It’s supposed to be three days of fun, elicit parties, maybe some making out - and hopefully no frostbite. There’s Mina, the girl who convinced Reese to come in the first place. Deke, the vodka-loving troublemaker. Kaori, Rose’s stylish best friend, and Mr. Fleming, the over-enthusiastic teacher who brought them all together.

On the second day, they wake up to find their SUV trashed and all the food destroyed. Even worse, Mr. Fleming is missing. With signs of a blizzard approaching, the group starts the long hike to try and find safety.

But the newly deserted backwoods town of Cherish Falls holds no help, and they realize they are being hunted by a girl with a taste for blood and flesh. A girl who seems monstrously strong and is a genius at tracking them down, one by one. And then it turns out, she’s not alone . . .

Thankfully, Will Haisley was camping near the group, and he’s not about to let them out of his sights. A Wendigo Hunter, he’s been following the girl for the past few days, determined to kill her. Will comes from a long line of Hunters and he carries the skills and memories of those who have hunted Wendigo before him. He didn’t choose this solitary, benighted job—it found him. And now he’s the best chance Reese and Rose have of staying alive . . . .
