But as clues mount-strategic attacks, eerie wood-knocks, even telepathic contact-it becomes clear: the Omah are real. And they're fighting back.As the body count rises, Thorn must choose sides in a war between greed and nature-while the mystery of his past still waits in the shadows.Mountain Devils is a thrilling blend of western adventure, cryptid horror, and environmental reckoning-where every tree hides a secret, and not every monster walks on two legs.
