In the human realms, there are stories of a great monster that prowls beneath the full moon. Half man, half beast. A story made up so children would never wander too far into the forest late at night.
Brenna James grew up hearing these stories, but she was one of the few who knew that the stories were true. She and her family were hunted for their gifts. They'd been hiding in the human realms her whole life. That is, until the day they'd finally been found. And, everything changed. 

Brenna is whisked away to the realm of Vervale in the world of Crescent, a land of equal magic, malice, and danger. As she navigates a court of deception and secrets, Brenna battles between learning the truth about her history and building a home where she and her family will be safe in the future.

(I dont own face claims or music used or referenced obviously)* Cover by the ever fabulous @LiziMichelle who is also the face claim for Brinley. Let me be straight up and say, this is extremely unedited. I wrote this in the notepad on my phone a couple years ago when I was in an entirely different place in my life. It's not the best, there are a few holes, but I had fun writing it and I love my characters, so do with this information what you will. If you hate it, don't read it.

Fangs and Fates by BookLover3062

"You don't have to be afraid of me." Werewolves are a danger, a menace, and evil. No one in their right mind would show mercy on a werewolf, a creature who could kill your in an instant, and will. At least, that's what the history books say about werewolves. But no one thinks for a moment it's not true. Raven Nightfang is a werewolf. She's not bloodthirsty, evil, or merciless. She's a normal, wood-dwelling, wolf-shifting girl. One night, she makes the mistake of wandering too far from her den and her mother's watchful eye, and ends up nearly getting killed by hunters after meeting one of them, Viktor. She escapes with his help and ends up accidentally getting taken to the world of Ionicia, the equivalent of werewolf afterlife. There, Dreadea, Goddess of the Moon, reveals that something is threatening humans and werewolves alike, and she and a human are the only ones that can fix it. Together, she and Viktor must work to uncover truths and decipher lies to find out what's really going on and save their species, despite their differences. But can they do it? What if whoever's behind it is still trying to stop them... Cover by @Seong_Grace
