Book number one of a fifteen book dark fantasy series.  So far, the entire universe is twenty-three books of Jane Yellowrock and Soulwood books.  I reread the well printed and well bound MMPB published by ROC (Penguin) in 2009 that I bought and first read in 2017.  I own all of the books in the series and plan to purchase all future books.
Jane Yellowrock is a full blood Cherokee of unknown age who is a skinwalker and vampire hunter.  She is the only skinwalker that she knows of since her father died.  Jane is permanently bound with a female mountain lion she calls Beast whose food she stole while walking The Trail Of Tears.  And Jane has been hired by the Vampire Council of New Orleans to kill a rogue vampire.  BTW, I am partial to Cherokees as my wife is 3/8 Cherokee.
