"Do not wander in the deeps, Where the Shriker's shadow creeps. When he rises from beneath, Beware the sharpness of his teeth." For more than three hundred years a monster known as the Shriker has roamed Shalem Wood, slaughtering those unfortunate enough to wander into his path. The people of Noor have lived in fear for so long that most have forgotten that the Shriker was once a loyal dog...until the day he was cruelly betrayed by his master and cursed to live a bloodthirsty life, always seeking revenge for the fate his owner had dealt him. A tale of terror and magic about the scariest mutt we've seen in a long time, The Beast of Noor tells the story of two siblings determined to break the curse of the Shriker...or die trying.
