Yancy Barnes and the Werewolf's Blood
(2026)(The fifth book in the Yancy Barnes series)
A novel by Bill Craig
What was meant to be a quiet winter vacation in the frozen wilderness of British Columbia becomes a waking nightmare for Yancy Barnes when the snowbound silence is shattered by signs that something is stalking him. At first it’s easy to dismiss—half-seen tracks swallowed by drifting snow, the distant echo of movement where no man should be, and the uneasy feeling of being watched from the treeline. But Barnes has survived too many gunfights and jungles to ignore his instincts, and they are screaming that this is no ordinary predator.
Cut off by blizzards and treacherous terrain, Barnes soon learns that the creature hunting him is intelligent, relentless, and driven by a taste for flesh and blood. Trappers’ cabins are found torn apart, their occupants vanished without a trace. Local legends whisper of an ancient monster awakened by the deep cold, something that hunts not for sport but for survival—and leaves nothing behind but bloodstained snow. Each night brings the creature closer, testing Barnes’s defenses and pushing him further into the unforgiving wild.
With ammunition running low and the cold gnawing at his strength, Barnes must rely on his wits as much as his weapons. The battle becomes a brutal contest of endurance against a foe that knows the mountains better than any man ever could. In a land where the cold can kill as surely as teeth and claws, Yancy Barnes faces his most primal challenge yet: outlasting a monster that refuses to stop hunting…until one of them is dead.
