Watch for the birds. Promise me. Sani has carried his mentor's warning for forty-four years. As medicine man to his tribe, he has spent a lifetime preparing for a darkness he prayed would never return-a skinwalker, an ancient entity that wears stolen flesh and feeds on those it infiltrates. When a desperate family stumbles into his village, fleeing something that has pursued them across territories, Sani recognizes the signs. The father's haunted eyes. The children's unnatural silence. The faint, acrid scent of spiritual corruption clinging to them like smoke. But the skinwalker isn't hunting the family. It's hiding inside one of them. Now Sani and his gifted apprentice Aiyana must confront an evil that has already claimed victims-and may claim them both. To destroy it, Aiyana will forge a psychic connection with the creature's ancient mind. What she discovers there will test everything she believes about sacrifice, power, and the terrible price of victory. Because skinwalkers don't die easily. And the most dangerous moment is when you think you've won. Skinwalker is a haunting tale of inherited wisdom, impossible choices, and an evil that endures across generations-waiting for the moment you forget to look up.
