A time of monsters

Rain Dare, talented mage and the seventeen-year-old product of human and alien DNA, travels across the habitable upper quarter of the North American continent in a post-Great Warming, magic-seeded Earth. Accompanying her is a group of equally adventurous companions: Wolf, Fox, and Ocelot shifters; a tyro mage; a young prophet; and a magically challenged old man.

It has been eighty years since aliens gifted the planet with magic. Having grown-up on an isolated island in the Pacific, Rain travels to understand how humans have coped with the extreme changes magic has wrought in the overheated world. Her alien DNA gives her advantages others don’t have, and eventually she is expected to use them to help them harness their magic.

While Rain seeks knowledge, her companions, whom she calls anomalies but others call abominations, are looking for greater acceptance than they found in their home of Wolf Trap.

The arduous journey itself holds little fear for them, the same can not be said about the monsters that the dark side of magic has begun to create. As de facto leader of the group, Rain wrestles with her innate reluctance to kill and the brutal reality of kill or be killed as they travel long abandoned roads in the unexplored wilderness.

What sort of strange, new creatures could their pack encounter?

Is Rain’s stronger magic ability enough to protect them if their own fighting skills cannot?

Or has Rain made a terrible mistake in allowing these new and already dear friends to accompany her?
