No devil is as wicked as what lies in the soul of man.
The Beast has taken just about everything it can from Sylvester Logan James, and for twenty years he has waged a vendetta with silver bullets and a perfect willingness to die. But fighting with monsters has consequences other than death.
His feud has made him a villainous hero whose only virtue is the greater evil of his adversary. The struggle has twisted his conscience and tangled his spirit, leaving him embattled by occult machinations and a newfound fear of damnation. Though haunted by cryptic nightmares and insatiable guilt, Sylvester’s own resolve will not let him surrender to an easy death, but goads him into pain he cannot turn and spiritual anguish that will not be ignored. Like a wounded animal orchestrating its own destruction, Sylvester must contend with the ancient werewolf, Peter Stubbe, as well as the cannibal demon the First Nations call Windigo. With the vigor of his pathos drained to the dregs and his existence unsustainable, his only hope is to die with some fractional token of his soul intact. The Cheyenne spirits have named him Heart of Scars.
