In the small, rural town of Raven's Peak, a legend had long been whispered about in hushed tones. A creature of the night, known as the Vampwolf, was said to roam the woods, preying on the living to satisfy its eternal hunger. The stories spoke of its supernatural strength, speed, and the ability to transform into a wolf-like beast under the light of the full moon.
The townsfolk believed the Vampwolf to be a mere myth, a story told to frighten children into behaving. But there were those who knew the truth. The old and the wise, who had lived through the brutal nights of the past, knew that the Vampwolf was real.
