The city couldn't wash the tundra from his blood. But the Alaskan wilderness doesn't care about homecomings.
David Vance is a man caught between two worlds. Raised under the concrete skies of Seattle, his face mirrors his fractured heritage half Irish, half Inupiaq Alaska Native. He possesses the sharp survival instincts passed down by his late grandfather, Joseph Asicksik, but he has never tested them in the true wild. Driven by a desperate need to reconnect with his roots, David leaves his modern life behind and flies into the remote interior of the Norton Sound.
David Vance is a man caught between two worlds. Raised under the concrete skies of Seattle, his face mirrors his fractured heritage half Irish, half Inupiaq Alaska Native. He possesses the sharp survival instincts passed down by his late grandfather, Joseph Asicksik, but he has never tested them in the true wild. Driven by a desperate need to reconnect with his roots, David leaves his modern life behind and flies into the remote interior of the Norton Sound.
But the homeland he finds is no longer at peace.
Reunited with his childhood friends in the isolated village of Shaktoolik, David joins an expedition up the treacherous, icy waters of the Illuq River. The locals whisper of a sudden, terrifying shift in the wilderness. The caribou herds have fractured, fleeing the high country in panic. Starving wolf packs refuse to enter the deep timber. And a massive bull moose has been found slaughtered not eaten, but twisted apart like kindling.
Armed with nothing but his grandfather's cryptic field journal and an ancient, caribou-antler-handled ulu knife, David leads his team into the claustrophobic canyons of black spruce.
Then, the rocks begin to fall from the darkness.
Deep in the limestone ridges, they discover they are being hunted by a prehistoric force the elders call the Urayuli a nine foot, shadow-dwelling apex predator that fiercely guards its territory. When a blinding Arctic blizzard slams into the mountain and a critical injury leaves them stranded, their route of escape is completely cut off.
To survive the night, David must awaken the ancestral bloodline within him. But as a web of modern high-tech secrets unravels around the mountain, he realizes they aren't just battling a monster from the ancient world... they are caught in the crosshairs of a hidden family legacy guarded by a ghost from his past. If you love the rugged, high-stakes wilderness survival of C.J. Box, the fast paced creature-feature horror of Jeremy Robinson, and heroes with the grit of Jack Reacher, you won't be able to put down this heart pounding Alaskan cryptid thriller.
