From the award-winning, best-selling creator of the ASHES Trilogy, DRAW THE DARK, and DROWNING INSTINCT, comes a pulse-pounding, supernatural thriller. Ms. Avery’s missing. The last time Sarah saw her, the social worker was heading for the tamarack bog where Sarah’s dad lays his traps. Which was stupid. Sarah could’ve told her: her dad can be a bear. A real monster. And now, Ms. Avery’s gone. Sarah’s dad says the lady never showed. Which Sarah thinks is a lie because Sarah’s sick. Really sick. She’s so sick that when Hank McDonald shows Sarah an old American Indian medicine bag that belonged to his grandmother, an Ojibwe healer who also knew a lot about shapeshifters and black magic—that’s when Sarah sees Ms. Avery’s ghost in the mirror. That’s when Sarah steals a magic skull from that medicine bag. And that’s when the Bearwalker comes for her.
