Something deadly sinister is roaming the mountains of southern Tennessee and northern Georgia. A ravenous beast with a thirst for blood and carnage has law enforcement in two states baffled. From Native American, Cherokee mythology, the beast has been named Uya, a malevolent evil spirit of the night. The rancorous creature has so far outwitted the best the law has to offer, and now, the stakes have been raised as farm animals no longer satisfy Uya's hunger. An Atlanta Federal Penitentiary inmate on death row may hold the clues to apprehending the vicious fiend. But time is of the essence because Uya has now gorged herself on human blood, flesh, and bones. Another victim has been taken from its crib. Will Uya be stopped in time?
