Summary:
Waking to find raptor footprints in the yard on her first morning on the farm certainly isn’t the welcome Darryl had in mind for her new step-mom–especially after their disastrous drive from the city. How on earth did the thing get in?
And where the heck is it?
Meanwhile, young hunter Joshua is about to make a reckless decision he may live to regret–but only if he’s lucky.
