As Kera's boyfriend Duncan Gowen grieves, he uncovers evidence of her infidelity with his best friend Adam Procure. But when Adam's body is the next to be found, Duncan becomes a suspect. Is he to blame, or is the monstrous swine the true killer?
As winter descends and determined hunters pursue the beasts across the Appalachians, the Tufa seek answers behind the deaths. In this captivating blend of fantasy, mystery, and folklore, what truths will be revealed come spring?
