For thousands of years he has slumbered, dreaming of hunting, killing, devouring. Now, his sleep is disturbed. The Beast is reawakening. Daniel's dad is taking his ghost hunting team to investigate stories of a terrifying beast that haunts the Valley of Shadows in the Highlands of Scotland. Daniel and his friend, Beth, go along just for the holiday: he refuses to believe the rumours of ghosts. But when the group's paranormal instruments start to shoot wildly off the scale, Daniel is plunged into doubt...and danger.

Could there really be something out there? Are the hunters about to become the hunted?

This is book 2 in The Beast Trilogy series, and another page-turning story that will grip readers from start to finish. Once again, we meet Karbel, the ghost of a dangerous animal from prehistoric times. He has haunted this valley for 10,000 years - a long time to be all alone. When he is awakened by the barking of Daniel's puppy, Karbel's longing to have a companion in death drives him to seek out this young cub.

For Daniel and his companion, Beth, this holiday becomes a desperate struggle to keep his pet safe from the ghostly jaws of a powerful predator that will stop at nothing to get what it wants.
