He couldn't shake the image of Isadora's eyes, once human, glowing with a feral gold as her claws began to form. It was a process that couldn't be undone, as irreversible as the march of time itself.

Jerrick had scoured the ancient texts in Theodulf's library, searched through every obscure tome and forgotten spell. They all said the same thing: a shifter's transformation was absolute, a fate sealed by the first pulse of broken heart. No enchantment could halt it, let alone reverse it.
