In this chilling continuation of the D-128 saga, Rick has abandoned his loyalty to Fort Lewis after learning the truth behind Dee’s brutal scars. Now on the run with the Dogman he once helped contain, Rick finds himself hunted on two fronts—by the military that wants Dee back, and by something far worse. High in the Cascades, an even larger, more ruthless Dogman emerges from the mist, testing them by night and assaulting them by day. Forced into a desperate fight for survival, Rick and Dee stand together against a predator that refuses to die. But even after driving it from the plateau, Rick knows the battle isn’t over—the beast will return, and next time, one of them won’t walk away.
