Silverlake

In the chaotic and horrific trenches of WWI, where life was fleeting, and death was only a breath away, an outcast finds his purpose through a curse he struggles to control.

This is Kano Barnett, a young half-Native-American from the Pacific Northwest who has volunteered to join the army during the First Great War and finds himself on the front lines of Belgium in 1917. Here, he not only learns how to fight but also discovers that an amulet, made of silver from a sacred lake has imbued him with the power of his spirit animal, the Black Bear.

As the war intensifies, No Man’s Land becomes more than a blood-soaked battleground, it becomes Kano’s hunting ground as he transforms into a hybrid predator unlike any the world has ever seen.
