About the book
Very few people have heard of the town of Blue Rock. Packed away off the highway and buried in the pine woods of South Arkansas, the town has been largely ignored by the rest of the world, until finally one spring when the world forces its way in.
Civil unrest and a global pandemic has fueled tension amongst the town’s residents. For Maddy Jeansonne, returning even in the face of these trials is still a reprieve from the rigors of college and the volatile big city. When she learns that her childhood friend Michael Risten has also returned, she believes she’s found an opportunity to reconnect.
But Michael has returned for a different reason. The curse that has plagued his family for generations threatens to come to light again, and Michael is desperate to rid himself of it once and for all. For buried deep within his soul is a beast desperate to get out. It’s waiting for the bright autumn moon to shine, and then it will take control, and no one will be safe. Not Maddy nor her brother, John Kelly. Not anyone in the town of Blue Rock. Not even Michael himself.
The curse dates back centuries, to when the family surname was Ristenoff. Perhaps, then that is the name of this beast, though it is also known by others. Rougarou, Loup Garou. Skinwalker. Lycanthrope. Werewolf. Hear the howl in the twilight and be prepared, for the wolf is at bay.

Be Notified When This Piece Becomes Available
We sell both brand-new books and pre-loved treasures through our secondhand imprint, Second Chapter. Every book is clearly labelled with its condition:
- Newly Summoned — Brand new, untouched by mortal hands. Fresh from the publisher.
- Barely Haunted — Pre-loved but in lovely condition. Light shelf wear at most; any previous owner left barely a trace.
- Clearly Haunted — A book that's lived a little. Expect visible wear — creased spines, tanned pages or scuffed corners — but fully readable and full of character.
- Exorcism Needed — Heavily worn and priced accordingly. These books have stories beyond the one printed inside. Perfect for readers who love a battle-scarred companion (or crafters after materials).
