Synopsis
Imagine a world ruled by Werelords; men and women who can turn into animals like bears, lions and serpents. When 16-year old Drew Farren discovers that he is not only a werewolf but the son of Wergar, the late Wolf King, he must rely on his wits and newfound powers to survive in a world full of enemy werecreatures. Drew is the only one who can untie the kingdom in a massive uprising against its tyrant ruler, Leopold the Lion. But the king is hot on Drew's tail and won't rest until he has the rebel wolf's head. Can Drew fulfill his destiny, save the kingdom and learn to master the beast within himself?
