Title: Doomstalker
First published: 1985
Description: The Grauken Wakes... 

It was the dormant, loathsome instinct possessed by every beast on Ponath. An innocent pup of the Degnan Packstead, Marika thought it was just a tale to frighten the young. Then the Grauken-possessed, cannibalistic nomads swept down from the far north-and the winter of death began. 

Marika's pack now has to fight for its life=even if it means calling upon the treacherous witchlike silth who can slay by mind alone. But young Marika has powers, to... enormous, untamed mental energies. Can Marika be a weapon against their foes? Or will she become something far greater than the Silth, something fearfully whispered of only in legends...
