Fantasy
Every one of us has the beast inside. But for Kyrie Smith,
the beast is no metaphor. Since she was 15, when she first
shape-shifted into a savage, black panther, Kyrie has
questioned her humanity. Although she's managed to keep
her inner beast secret most of the time, the panther
occasionally emerges to strike unbidden. Terrified she'll
hurt someone while in panther form, Kyrie moves from town
to town, searching for a way to feel human again.
Kyrie's lonely life changes forever while waitressing
at a cheap diner in Goldport, Colorado. Investigating
frantic screams from the parking lot, Kyrie stumbles upon
a blood-spattered dragon crouching over a mangled human
corpse. The dragon shape-shifts back into her co-worker,
Tom, naked, dazed and unable to remember how he got there.
Thrust into an ever-changing world of shifters, where
shape-shifting dragons, giant cats and other beasts wage a
secret war behind humanity's back, Kyrie may find the
answers she seeks -- with help from Tom, a mythical object
called the Pearl of Heaven, and her own inner beast.
