THE BEST-SELLING MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL SERIES

REVENGE IS A MOTHER

When Owen Pitt and the rest of the Monster Hunter International crew are called away to mount a monthslong rescue mission in a monster-infested nightmare dimension, Julie Shackleford-Owen's wife and descendant of MHI founder Bubba Shackleford-is left behind. Her task: hold down the fort and take care of her new baby son, Ray.

But then a routine field call brings her face-to-face with an unspeakable evil calling itself Brother Death. Julie is the Guardian of a powerful ancient artifact known as the Kamaresh Yar, and Brother Death longs for it. In the wrong hands, it could destroy reality as we know it. Julie would die before giving it up. Then little Ray goes missing, taken by Brother Death. The price for his safe return? The Kamaresh Yar.

To reclaim her son, Julie Shackleford must fight her way through necromantic death cults, child-stealing monsters, and worse. And she'll have to do it all before Brother Death can unleash the Kamaresh Yar. It may be one woman against an army of monsters, but Julie Shackleford is no ordinary woman-she's maybe the toughest mother on the planet!
