[ONC 2024 Longlister] [2nd place Pride Awards 2024 winner] [Fantasy Winner of the EC Fiction Awards 2024] [Pride Shelf November 2024 Book of the Month] [3rd place Rose Gold Awards 2025 Best Action Scene winner] [Spotlight Division Winner in the Grand Fiction Awards 2025] From the Forest, all life sprung. And to the Forest, it may return. Umirin's people have lived within the ancient, powerful Forest since they had sprung to life there many generations ago. They respect the land they live off and worship the Heart of the Forest, the divine beast who sowed the seed it grew from long ago. Since its creation, the Forest had grown mighty. It is eternal. It is home. At least it had been, until a great tragedy many seasons ago changed everything. Now Umi's nation lives above the forest, in houses built on beams, to escape from the roaming beasts below known as Soulbiters. They are dangerous and deadly, but rooted to the Forest floor, only able to burrow through the soil. Above the tree tops, the people are safe from them. But man is not made to live floating in the clouds, and there are times when they have to travel to the ground. These trips are done by the best warriors and hunters, but encounters with the beasts are inevitable, and lives are still regularly lost to their curse. When Umi's beloved husband Shani is grabbed by the Soulbiters, he is prepared to do anything to save him from the gruesome fate that awaits if he is bitten. Anything at all. Even strike a horrible bargain with the beasts.

{WATTYS 2023 WINNER} • Book 1 of the Daegelus series • While hunting for his missing friend, Elijah stumbles upon a fiery journalist, who so happens to be looking for the same people as him: the doctors who experimented on him when he was a child. But when the two are forced to go on the run together, Elijah's healing wounds are opened, and he realises that Lyca Corp. took more than his childhood. ⊳⊱ ♕ ⊰⊲ The moment Elijah escaped from the lab where he unwillingly spent the past thirteen years of his life, he planned to live up to his promise: he'd find Haru, the only thing that kept him sane growing up. But with no idea where Lyca Corp. transferred him, Elijah hunts down the former doctors who made his life hell in search of answers. After chasing his next lead, however, Elijah accidentally rescues Zoe, a journalist locked in his target's trunk. He has no choice but to bring her and her roommate, Jake, along with him as he flees the city to avoid capture. But as he continues his search, Elijah struggles with the scars Lyca Corp. burned into him. He has no idea who or what he is; he doesn't understand the power raging inside his bodyーthe power Lyca Corp. desperately tried to pry from him. Why does he have an insatiable bloodlust? What does the whispering voice inside his head want? And why does he feel as though a huge part of him has been torn away? ❅ LGBTQ couples ❅ Grump x Sunshine ❅ Dystopian Urban Fantasy ❅ Word Count: 137,000 ─────────────────────────────────── ✵ Numenverse year: 1335 **April 2024 Editor's Pick **#3 in Werewolf 5/4/2024 **#1 in GayRomance 5/4/2024 **#12 in Werewolf 31/5/2025 2023-2025 © Tate Csernis | | Series is exclusive to Wattpad
