Cowboys, a Native American Legend and...a Dinosaur? How does the greatest gunslinger of the old west end his career? By hunting a dinosaur animal spirit, of course. Karl Redgrave has a big plans for his retirement party. He's bringing together the world's greatest criminals, murderers, warriors, and assassins to hunt something worthy of them a highly intelligent, seven-foot tall dinosaur spirit; known to the natives as the Grishla. Of course, Karl wants only the best on his safari, so he has pitted these men against each other in a deadly contest in an old ghost town, with five winners securing a place in the hunt. Who will live? Who will win? And if they win, can they survive the final confrontation with the beast?

The War has Begun... Deep in the North American forests lurks an animal spirit known as the Grishla. The Grishla is so ancient it pre-dates the human race by several million years, and it is so powerful and reclusive only very insightful witches know of its existence. Five hundred years ago, the Dwanake tribe possessed such witches. Drunk on their own power and arrogance, these witches attempted to enslave the Grishla. Enraged, the creature began hunting and killing the Dwanake. Desperate, the tribal elders ordered experiments on the Dwanake children to create the ultimate witch to defend their people. Sixteen-year-old Sean Wolf is that witch. But Sean is so powerful that he cannot control his own magic. Will he be able to defeat the Grishla or will he destroy himself and everyone that he loves?

Who is the killer? A monster…or Sean Wolf’s own grandmother? Gregg Redcrow is dead and someone killed him. Sean’s mentally-ill grandmother claims it was the Grishla, a dinosaur animal spirit hell-bent on destroying Sean, his family, and the entire Dwanake tribe. She also claims he is the Ultra Witch, the most powerful witch ever born who is destined to slay the beast. But that’s just one of her delusions…right? The more Sean investigates, the more he doubts everything he has been told as well as his own sanity. Someone is drugging his food…his friends are starting to act strange…and all the while, the clock is ticking down to the day he has to return home. If he leaves, who will take care of his grandmother as her illness progresses? Even worse, if she did indeed murder Gregg, will she kill again? A terrible dread begins to seep into his bones, and he can almost see the red glare of doom on his horizon…
