The Turning — Micky Neilson

Years ago Brandon Frye was bitten, cursed to transform into a primal killing machine under the light of the full moon... until he met Celine, who introduced him to experimental pills meant to suppress the turning. Now, after a terrible tragedy has taken Celine's life, Brandon boards a cruise ship bound for Alaska, intending to venture into the cold white north and never return. But when Brandon meets Ginny, he gains a second chance at love. Nevertheless, circumstances align against him: a storm is building, a hunter is on his trail, and the pills that are meant to prevent the turning... Are about to trigger it.
