Carved from the rugged Chiricahua Mountains, the intimidating spire, Thunder Peak, slashes the sky, haunting the southern reaches of the Arizona Territory and looming over Itza Chu Canyon. Staked in the darkest corner of Thunder Peak's shadow lies the Tamm Ranch and Orchard, run by Civil War veteran Jonas Tamm and his adopted daughter Casey. Jonas knows more about the haunted mountain they live under than anyone, and when Casey rescues a hornless, juvenile unicorn from a bloodthirsty wolfpack, Jonas realizes that it's time to tell her those secrets. Secrets that will
pit them in a race against time to get the unicorn back home through a magical gate. If they fail, the steed will lose his horn and its magic forever. The task also resurrects an ancient predator. A merciless nightmare of fang and claw who arrived long ago through the same magic gate as the unicorn, but with one dire purpose: To eliminate Casey. But who sent the diabolical creature and what does it have to do with her mother?
