What happens when an average teen falls in love with a girl that society has deemed a monster? They run. Tod lives in a world where only thirty four years ago, babies started being born with horns. Now, the horned people have become the new minority. Not only are they persecuted, they're downright slaughtered! Every day people hear about the horned person who was shot and killed or beaten to death by police for petty crimes like jaywalking or loitering. But there's a rumor about a place where they can live in peace and be happy, Arduo. And it might be Tod's only hope. "'I'm putting my life on the line for an urban legend, doesn't that show how much you mean to me? Why won't you say it back to me when I say I love you?' 'If we make it to Arduo, I'll say it a thousand times over.'"

"Right now, you all live in a pleasant little boring world where nothing exciting or dangerous happens. Oh how I envy you. My life use to be just like your's. That is until I met a vampire bitch in a bar that tried to kill me. Everything went to hell in a hand basket after that. I learned that there's a lot of scary, dangerous things hidden in the world but there are also people who protect us from it all. They are called the ARK. They are made up of extraordinary people with extraordinary powers. Little did I know, I was one of those people. During my time in ARK, I experienced the best and worst moments of my life. I made friends and lost friends. I fell in love and made enemies that would haunt me forever. But most of all, I learned some very shocking secrets about my past that I could never dream of. If this has caught your interest, stay tuned cause shit's about to get crazy." Paxton Hayes was a relatively normal guy. He had a nice home, a best friend for life, and even the run of the mill daddy abandonment issues. Then one night, he walks into a pub and is nearly killed by a vampire bitch named Alice. Turns out he's not a normal human at all. In fact, he's the farthest thing from it. Suddenly thrown into a world of supernatural creatures and people with super powers, Paxton teams with his best friend who is secretly a telepath, a pyromaniac and his "ice bitch" sister, a vampire/werewolf hybrid who may or may not be on steroids, a witch that he's pretty sure is in love with his adoptive father, and a cynical werewolf that he might have feelings for. Yep, just an average day at Ark.
