Drawn

by Beth Fowler

The Drawn settings in Tennessee, New Mexico, and Texas, tell the story of Eva Meriwether, an intuitive young woman whose childhood has been burned from memory by the break up of her family after a massive fire. Years later, when she awakens from a vivid dream, her perceptions change, and she sees evil stalking her s a terrifying wolf. Eva returns to the creature's origin in her hometown, and en route, survives a freakish accident with signs of the wolf. Purging the beast from her mind becomes an obsession, but instead, it enters her waking hours. The creature reveals its coming destruction of mankind, unless she can revive in her dormant art, what only she can see--how to stop the wolf.
