The Beast of Rose Valley. Lorestalker, #1

Terror lurks in the shadows of Rose Valley-hungry and back for blood. A devastating accident leaves Jake Rollins broken and stranded in his hometown. He just wants to heal and escape Rose Valley forever, but when a sheep is savagely torn apart on the ranch where he's recovering, Jake is thrust into a nightmare that refuses to stay buried. After the stubborn sheriff dismisses the mutilation as a coyote attack, Jake teams up with Shandi Mason, his sharp-witted high school flame turned local reporter.
Together, they uncover a century-old curse: a relentless creature that's haunted the town with secrets, slaughter, and shame guarded by its most trusted residents. As the beast turns from livestock to locals, igniting a desperate manhunt, Jake and Shandi race against time to expose the truth... or become its next victims. Will they unravel the dark legacy before Rose Valley falls forever?
