[Volume 1 of 3 in the Cursed By Tetralogy Series] "Your love is not passion without my consent. What your love is...is an attack." °°° Living in a city seized by the rebellion, the Eleven factions of Time, Space and Mind pray to the Goddess Harmonia to maintain balance. War had ended in their defeat, leaving them at the mercy of a people wronged by their actions for five centuries. The Amalgam, the descendants of Humans, and an evolutionary step heading towards unknown potential. However, both sides share a hidden secret, a fourth faction of those who share the blood of both. These dragon shifters, the Draven, are hunted by the Valsari when they succumb to the madness brought on by their connection to the Makhar; titan-like beasts that prowl around the Outerplanes. Deciding to escape that fate altogether, Roan has forcibly prevented himself from ever shifting for years; living inside a body that constantly tries to tear itself apart. Preventing madness was all that mattered, even if it meant death... ...but then he met Zarion...the boy dumb enough to convince him to step into the light. The Discord Trials, a fight to the death where contestants compete using their wit, skill, charm and strength. Twenty-seven chosen! Only three must return! Is the big bad wolf at fault, or a victim to his own instincts, how ever violent those may be? And can Roan ever forgive the monster cursed by the moon, or, is the love of a mate too deadly?
