Project Manticore
(2026)(The first book in the Wild Hunt, Shadow-Hunters series)
A novel by Robby Jed Raines
Some monsters are created.
Others are unleashed.
When unexplained massacres ripple across a remote corner of the world, the Wild Hunt’s most secretive division is activated. Led by battle-hardened veterans and bound by oaths older than nations, the Hunt is accustomed to facing the impossible.
They are not prepared for what waits in the dark.
As a creature born of forbidden science and ancient myth begins its rampage, the Hunt is forced into a race against time—tracking a beast that learns, adapts, and kills with terrifying efficiency. Every engagement costs blood. Every mistake brings the end closer.
For LtCol Jayce Constance, the mission becomes personal when his nephew Kirk Becker is drawn into the fight—awakening something buried deep in his bloodline. What begins as a battle for survival becomes a reckoning, forcing the Hunt to confront not just the monster they face, but the price of becoming what is needed to stop it.
Behind the carnage, unseen hands move with purpose. The Manticore was never the end.
It was only a test.
Wild Hunt: Shadow Hunters — Project Manticore is a brutal, fast-paced blend of military action, supernatural horror, and mythic warfare—where victory is never clean, survival is never free, and once the Hunt begins…
there is no way back.
Genre: Thriller
