“Religion and legend aren’t always the same thing. The Comanche follow no gods. But there are legends, like Pia Mupitsi. Among our kind—monsters, as my brother calls us—it’s said that a shadow will rise to fight evil. But ‘Shadow’ is said as a name, as an unstoppable force. The Shadow moves among us but cannot be found, cannot be sensed. It can see us, find us, track us. And destroy us. The Shadow is a hunter. A weapon. A new kind of monster.”
