Gauntlet Rite of Ascension

When Eric's sister drives off without him he has to cut through the woods to get to school. What he encounters in the deep shadows of a pine tree changes his life forever. Bitten by a wolf, Eric's Beast is unchained and the battle for his very soul begins. Eric must fight a powerful and ancient creature with nothing more than his will. Success means having to live with the power of the Beast and failure means a fate worse than death.
