And when the magical creatures--even Jin's own monstermates--begin to act out in strange and alarming ways, the situation only gets worse. Jin's search for answers leads him to the very place from which all monsters originate: deep within the Uncanny Wild, where sacred peaks are surrounded by a primordial forest...from which no one has ever returned.
