Primals
by Josh Davis

How far would you go to survive when the real monster is something you once loved?

Shelly has already endured the horrors of domestic abuse. But when the silverback gorilla she cares for begins displaying signs of severe dementia, she faces a nightmare unlike anything she could have imagined.

The magnificent animal is forgetting the very things that made him extraordinary. And as his behavior grows increasingly unpredictable, the danger becomes impossible to ignore.

Then comes a sudden, violent attack.

Broken, injured, and trapped inside the sprawling enclosure of a nature preserve, Shelly finds herself fighting for her life against a creature of immense strength—and a threat she may have no way to escape.

Alone and pushed to her physical and emotional limits, she must summon every ounce of courage, ingenuity, and determination she possesses. Survival will demand more than strength. It will force her to confront the horrors of her past and discover just how far she is willing to go to see another day.

Told through an unsettling interplay of past and present, PRIMALS is a brutal, suspense-filled tale of terror, resilience, and the savage instincts that emerge when survival is all that matters.

Some monsters are born. Others are made. And sometimes, survival means facing both.
