HE WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING: FIGHT EVIL. BUT WHAT IF HE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHICH SIDE TO FIGHT FOR?
Sordlen has lived in peace for two decades, until the sorceress Mara awakens. Being declared a monster, she has chosen to live up to her name. Will she be be able to rise above her villainous desires or remain the monster everyone tells her she is?
Unable to fight against Mara's enchantments, Jack finds himself betraying his own village for a cause he doesn't fully understand. He becomes torn between whose cause to fight for. The one thing that keeps him fighting to do the right thing is his fiancé Sylvie. But what is the right thing?
When Sordlen is attacked, Sylvie is forced to flee to the nearby city of Eram along with Liam, her newly appointed guardian. When Jack never rejoins them, she assumes the worst-that he had been killed. When they are finally reunited months later, she discovers his fate to be worse than imagined: he hadn't been killed; he was the reason others had been.
In the midst of a looming war, Jack must discover where his loyalties lie, before he loses the chance to be a part of either side. What had begun as an honest quest to help Mara find her heart has turned into a struggle for Jack to maintain his honor as the ultimate traitor while deciding what he believes in. As Jack begins to realize Mara may have been unfairly branded a monster, he questions he may be on the wrong side.
Monster is a tale that delves into the nature of good and evil. What decides who is the hero and who is the villain?

"There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do."
