Kingdoms of these enigmatic beings, called beastwalkers, have existed for centuries, each species governed by their own regal king and queen. One thing the courts crave above all else are the animi—human females who can unlock a beastwalker’s ability to shift into their animal forms. Lola Katz is known for three things, talking too much, being obsessed with paranormal romance books, and her two-toned skin. Lola’s vitiligo makes her feel both invisible and a specimen under a microscope at the same time. The nineteen-year-old, New York City waitress has no plans further than attending community college and hanging out with her two besties, Katy and Maddie. But when she starts seeing men with exotic, animal-like features, Lola starts to believe she’s losing her grip on reality. Then Lola meets Callon Leo, the prince of the Kingdom of Claws. Callon is handsome, enigmatic, and thinks of nothing else but his duty to his kingdom. When he uncovers the resurgence of animi abductions—a practice strictly forbidden by the council of shamans—he vows to put a stop to it by any means necessary. But Callon finds his focus shifting from his royal duties to thoughts of Lola, her captivating presence permeating his every waking moment. At the same time, Lola cannot seem to banish thoughts of the enigmatic prince from her mind. As she unravels the truth behind Callon’s sudden interest in her, Lola discovers her own place within a supernatural conflict between the kingdoms, where love, loyalty, and her own unique power intertwine. less
