Many moons ago the deities of every religion came together with an idea...a new hope. Distraught and dismayed about the ever changing ideals of society, the gods and goddesses dispersed a piece of their souls into the souls of few humans present and future. The two souls came together to form one so special that many call it "Therians". Everything about them is human except for the ability to physically transform into their deities' chosen Spirit for them . Spirits are considered to be the only remaining ties to the old gods and goddesses, guiding their human from the moment they are created.
Therians can draw on their Spirits's energy in times of trouble or need such as healing, strength or agility yet they can not truly shift until the age of 16, this causes most people not to know their true identity until they the shift happens .
Every Therians' Spirit is different, that is what makes them all unique and quite powerful. Historically, they have been known to aid in battles, heal plagues, and form our world into what we know it as today. Therians are considered to be mere myths to most, whereas some societies still honor them as the final relatives to the old deities. Therians are rare but powerful, and lately some nationwide governments are searching for any piece of evidence they can get their hands on. This has caused many to hide in fear of exploitation. To discover that one was favored is almost a death sentence to most, but to some its a chance at a new life.

(Mary died suddenly due to a newly released hyper-virus by The Powers That Be.) The young women discover not only had their mother been quenching their powers since they were babies but through her journals is now urging them to to do the exact opposite.

Will they stop bickering and worrying about boys, fashion and proms long enough to save the day? *Esther 4:4 Gifts: Baby in the corner Beth (19) has the ability to draw her heart's desires. She thinks it's only while using her big box of 64 crayons. She doesn't realize the power is in her mind's eye and not her writing implements. Jo (20) can teleport. Of course she doesn't always stick her landings. At first her landings are as messy as is her life. She's lost her mother, her family home, her faith and now thinks she may be losing her mind. Supercilious self-absorbed Amy (17) has the uncanny ability to get others to do what she wants. She says, ever so sweetly, "I'd prefer..."

The oldest sister Meg (21) has dreams and visions about the world's near future. She's also very intuitive. Perhaps if she were better at seeing her own future maybe her personal life wouldn't be in shambles?Complete
Shapeless Hero
Identity crisis? What's that? ---- An earthling's soul was born into an incompatible, human body. Their muscles misbehaved, their skin and body felt like a rigid shell, and their weak constitution left little options for any activities outside of paperwork, books and anything on a screen at home. Then the divine beings tried to correct the mistake and removed the mismatched soul from its unfitting body, slinging it to a distant world with a new body to control. The human flesh-prison replaced with the unlimited options of a shapeshifter, the soul has now a magic-filled world to explore. Grow fur for a mountain hike, grow gills and fins for a deep dive. It's time to catch up on decades worth of missed travels and activities. But who wants to deal with the flesh-craving predators called shapeshifters? Another global purge could start, if the freshly transferred soul shows its abilities too much. ---- The rankings are a mystery to me - especially after this story made it to No. 1 under the shapeshifter tag (and others). Welcome to fantasy amateur hours! This is my first time writing that kind of novel. Hopefully there's a bit of improvement along the way. Feel free to tell me what works or not! Occasionally drowning in irl-work, so chapters will be published semi-regularly, whenever I find some time to write. (Usually updated at least once per week.) If it wasn't obvious already: Cover art made by yours truly.

Silas' mate
Silas, an alpha werewolf burdened by the weight of leadership, felt an emptiness no amount of responsibility could fill. Legends spoke of soulmates, a mate destined for every werewolf, and Silas yearned for his. Years of searching, countless faces, countless scents - nothing resonated with the pull in his heart. Then, fate whispered on the wind, leading him to a small, forgotten town nestled amidst whispering pines. There, he encountered Hazel Storm, a whirlwind of a woman with eyes that mirrored the wild summer sky and a spirit as untamed as the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. Hazel wasn't like anyone Silas had ever met. Though human in form, a primal connection crackled between them, a recognition that transcended words. Yet, a mystery surrounded her. An underlying wildness simmered beneath her surface, a connection to the untamed wilderness that mirrored his own. As Silas delved deeper, he unraveled the truth - Hazel wasn't just drawn to him; she was a therian, a human with a deep spiritual connection to a specific animal - in her case, the wolf. Their bond deepened, but an age-old question arose: could a werewolf and a therian truly find forever, or were their paths destined to diverge?Complete

The Wolf Witch
Sora has no place in the world. She is meant to be a strong warrior, with the ability to shift into a wolf. She is none of those things, and looked down upon because of it. It brings shame to her, it brings shame to her family, and worst of all, it brings shame upon her prideful and strong brother. There is but one person who truly knows and loves her, but does he really? Magic is not the weapon of a warrior, magic is the weapon of a coward. Sora has been told that all her life, but she has magic within her, recently awakened, and so she has begun to doubt it. Still, witchcraft is punishable by death, and so Sora must be careful with her practices, lest she lose all she has. Sora is a better witch than wolf, though not by much, but she still pursues that craft in spite of the dangers. Her place in the world is a dangerous one, but will it last? The world she lives in is a dangerous one, and such a life as hers rarely ends happily. Disclaimer: this is a short prequel, Sora's story does not conclude with this one. If you finish this book and go "oh, that's the end?" it's because it's not the end. I'm writing a trilogy called Mortance that explores the larger world that this takes place in and concludes Sora's story more thoroughly than in this book. Go read that next if you like my writing, thanks. Please leave any and all criticisms you might have, anything you like and anything you dislike, I want to make this as good as I can. P.S. the cover is literally just a drawing I made in physics class, I know it's bad, I'm not an artist.Complete
