Grace has lived in the Smokies all her life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her everything he knew about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival. When her dad goes missing on a routine patrol, unlike everyone in her sleepy mountain town, she refuses to believe he’s dead.

One day, while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from imminent danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent and a secret. After a few run-ins with the town's police chief, her father's partner, and some new evidence, Grace travels deeper into the wilderness only to learn that her father's disappearance is not a mere coincidence.

Soon she’s enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it’s going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kick-butting heroine to emerge from an epidemic that’s spreading like wild fire, threatening everything and everyone she’s ever loved.
