THE MONSTER WITH ONE ARM

The raid was fractured. The savages won. In a last-ditch effort to rid the city outskirts of a plague known as the Rattlers, veteran detective Jo’Drik McCreedy led his team into the frozen woods, only to find pain and suffering in their path. Captured and held prisoner in the Rattler’s hideout, Jo’Drik was one of the few who made it out alive.

Five years later, a young Rattler girl risks her life to enter the Human city and find something of great value to her clan. Jo’Drik is told of a possible Rattler sighting within the city walls, and goes to investigate. What seems like just another call for the veteran detective, soon reveals to be more complicated than originally thought. Jo’Drik is forced to face his past nightmares head-on, and through this, he begins to see the deceit and treachery that have blinded him all along.

The fate of this wayward child rests in Jo’Drik’s hands. If he can find it within himself to let go of revenge, then maybe he can unite a city that has become divided through time and trial.
