'A gripping thriller and an ode to nature's preservation' Croix

'Breathtaking' Livres Hebdo

Raphaelle, a forest warden, lives alone with her beloved dog Coyote in a caravan deep in the Canadian woods. Fiercely independent and cut off from civilisation, she is always armed, defending the bears, raccoons and lynxes she lives amongst from sadistic poachers.

When Raphaelle discovers animal footprints outside her home, and her dog vanishes soon after, Raphaelle herself becomes the prey of the forest's ultimate predator ... not animal, but man.

She plots her revenge patiently. How far will she go to protect herself and her world?
