When an ancient helmet at the British Museum is taken, Bridgette and Duncan are confronted by another hero of yore, one who will lead them to facing off against their most formidable challenge yet...a beast and his mother.
The next chapter in the critically acclaimed and Eisner Award nominated series as Bridgette, Duncan, and Rose must find a way to stay one step ahead of Merlin and keep things secret, but it's a modern era and secrets never stay hidden very long...
Erica Slaughter may have slain the monster terrorizing the small Wisconsin town of Archer's Peak, but now she sets off deeper into the woods -- because the monster she killed was a mother... and now she needs to kill its children.
As the House of Slaughter arrives to clean up the situation by any means necessary, Erica will find that the true threat to those around her isn't who - or what - she ever expected. And the cost of saving the day may be too high for anyone to pay...
