He went to hunt a killer wolf-and found himself hunted.
Asa North was a wolfer, the best there was-fearless, cunning, and as relentless as the predators he stalked.

But in the remote Caribou Mountains, Asa isn't the only one tracking prey. Others are out there-desperate men with blood in their eyes. And they're not just after the wolf.
They're after Asa.
