Running Dawn

Shifters are being hunted.

Creatures brought from the Abyssa; a planet deep into the stars; after the first world portal opened, and magic leaked through onto the New Earth.

Nineteen year old Shanai Nightshade, a half Shifter, half human, has spent almost two decades changing her faces. A human child, an Ulfrim male, a young woman, a tiger, a rabbit. She runs from the Humans, hired by her immortal cousin species, the Ulfrim.

After her mother is fatally wounded in a raid of their camp, she is left to raise her neice alone. Shifted and disguised as a human mother and her child, they stow away onto a cargo transporter, and, thanks to their human heritage, their Shifter blood is not noticed.

Now deep inside one of the largest Human and Ulfrim cities on the New World, Shanai must decide between the destiny of her neice, or her own path into the future, with the twist of love and the tragedy of fear following her at the heals.
