"As apprentice to Dr. Pellinore Warthrop, Will Henry has lived a life dedicated to the pursuit of monstrumology: the study of monsters. But when Dr. Warthrop is informed that his old mentor Dr. von Helrung is trying to prove the existence of the mythical Wendigo, He Who Devours All Mankind, a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh, Will's world is plunged into fresh turmoil. Will and Dr. Warthrop must traverse the desolate wastelands of Canada....and in the process, may discover a truth far more terrifying than even they could have ever imagined. "--Book jacket
