Teen Wolf meets Riverdale in a deadly epic tale of unadulterated teen rage.

Meet Harper Westbrook, an axe-murdering cheerleader, cursed with a need to kill to preserve her humanity. Harper targets terrible men who have otherwise evaded justice, but now she’s caught in a game of cat-and-mouse that threatens not only her heart. . .but her life.
