"In a world where supernatural beings live side by side, a boy’s search for belonging uncovers truths he never imagined."

When Alex’s mother is kidnapped, his ordinary life shatters, revealing a hidden world of werewolves, vampires, witches, and werecats. Rescued by the enigmatic Jason, Alex learns of his werewolf heritage and is sent to an elite academy where these factions coexist under an uneasy truce.

Thrown into this unfamiliar world, Alex struggles to fit in while forming bonds with those who challenge his perception of loyalty and trust. But beneath the academy’s strict rules lies an undercurrent of tension as old prejudices simmer and alliances are tested. As Alex navigates his new reality, he must come to terms with who he is and the responsibility that comes with it.

“I thought we could talk,” she said simply. “Do you have a moment?” 


Alex hesitated, then nodded. “Yeah… I guess.”
