Blood Born and Mountain Bound - Isabel Campbell;Michael Anderle

Roxie Ryder thought winter in Howling Falls would be quiet. She was catastrophically wrong.

A ritual death in a mountain cave. A body that breaks out of the morgue from the inside. Animals drained across Eli's forest, killed by something that shouldn't exist. The ley lines are screaming, and the dead man isn't staying dead.

He walks into her wine bar-beautiful, hollow, desperate. Bound to the mountain, tethered by the ritual that killed him. Every night he's getting hungrier. Every night he's getting closer to feeding on something other than wildlife.

Eli, Roxie's boyfriend has one rule: stay out of the forest at night. He wants Roxie safe. The problem? Her coyote can track what others can't see. Diesel can smell what doesn't belong. She's not staying behind.

The ley line witches are searching for answers. Sheriff Navarro is searching for a name. Roxie is searching the dark-with Eli at her back and a revenant running out of time.

Dale Mecklen is trying to stay human. The hunger is winning.

Can Roxie save a dead man from becoming a monster? Or will the mountain claim them all before love can survive what death started?
