Publisher's Synopsis
A new series of short novels that take place in a world where once extinct animals - including dinosaurs - have not only been brought back, but tampered with genetically and sold across the black market. In this first book, Royce Annex Howell - a world renowned hunter and tracker - and his trusted assistant, Sophie Cunningham - an avid herbalist and accomplished sharpshooter - are hired by a prospector to dispose of a creature that is attacking and killing his team members as they inch ever closer to unearthing a fabled emerald in the vast Pisgah Forest. However, once they arrive at camp and more details of the case are brought to light, Royce begins to question the prowler's motives and what or who is behind them. It soon becomes clear that they are not the only ones after the emerald and a fight for survival pits Royce and Sophie against a predator far more dangerous than the prowler.
