Shift [REWRITING]

Imagine if there was a world within our own, a world whose existence we aren't even aware of. Imagine if all of the evil creatures of the night you read about as a child - vampires, werewolves, fairies, even specters - were real. Imagine if you, an ordinary human, had the ability to change into an animal at will. Imagine if all of the legends you ever heard of, fictional or otherwise, were true.

For Laura Halifax, this is her worst nightmare. And it's coming true.

On her 18th birthday, she is plunged into a world by the name of Altair, where all of the supernatural beings humans swear off as 'just stories' reside and make a living. But she quickly discovers that she is unlike the others, and that her parents have been harboring dark secrets from her for the last eighteen years of her life. Just as she discovers her true identity, she realizes she is part of a bigger picture - one that has the potential to destroy all humankind.

Oh, and she's a shapeshifter. There's a hot guy, too.
