Dark Frontiers: Cry of the Wendigo - Paperback

by D. A. Roberts (Author)

In 1865, the American frontier was dark and foreboding. Settlers and pioneers faced danger at every turn, some vanishing without a trace. It took a special breed to tame this land and face the threats that lurked just outside the firelight. The U.S Marshals dispatched a special team of deputies for this task. Declan Caine and his Nightmare Hunters were sent to bring down the deadliest creatures that stalked the land. Creatures that most people refuse to believe exist.
A mysterious rider arrives at the home of Declan Caine with an urgent message to report immediately to the local garrison. Declan soon learns that an entire caravan of freight and its Cavalry escort failed to reach their destination. To make matters worse, the two survivors who managed to make it told of a strange beast that attacked without warning or provocation.
The Nightmare Hunters ride out in a frigid winter storm to search for survivors and to stop the beast before it kills again. Nothing they have faced before has prepared them for what they discover when they arrive in Moon Valley. A creature from our primordial nightmares stalks them at every turn. A beast that could be the deadliest predator ever to walk the earth.
This monster will push them to their limits and beyond. How can you stop a creature that cannot die? An ancient evil stalks the quiet valley, and the magic binding it there is failing. Can Declan and his Nightmare Hunters find a way to stop this rampaging beast before it escapes and destroys the unsuspecting settlements less than a day's ride away? Will they succeed, or will the evil corrupt them all?
