She's a shifter, her body a cage for a beast who's made a normal life she's been yearning for impossible. She's resigned herself to her fate as a lonesome nomad, certain that things couldn't possibly get any more complicated.
That was until she ran into a hostile situation where the only one she cared for in the world, her uncle, was going to be taken away from her, into a distant reality.
Aria is a girl who gets swept into an alternate world, a kingdom carved up by beasts who live and roam freely. Because of her heritage, she's in a world a far cry from what she's used to, full of incredible beasts with unimaginable powers, with archaic traditions, power plays and draconian hierachies.
She wants nothing more than to find a way home, a difficult job in itself. But things are only complicated by the entrance of her estranged father, his family, a new royal decree, as well as the appearance of her soulmate.

"This can't be happening" Aria choked out past the lump in her throat which had begun to limit her speech. She pushed herself as far away as she could in her current state.
"I just need to go home- please!" She pleaded, her eyes flying between each of the members of the council standing, surrounding the throne.
"You're already home" a gravely voice interrupted her. Aria glanced at the oldest member of the council, councilman Adrek. His icy blue eyes pinned her down, his dominance silently commanding her to stand still.
"Your ancestors helped create and establish our great Kingdom". He began. "You already submitted to my orders- your wolf recognises its place among us, you have no family nor a home left in the human realm-"
"You're wrong!" Aria spat. "You don't know anything about me!"
Adrek didn't waver at her sharp tone, opting to maintain his peaceful aura.
"We know enough".
