This story is a work in progress. I'm welcome to any feedback and help. Thanks. Dystrom has been sheltered from the blasphemous "Bonders" his entire life, but when his tribe is attacked and destroyed by the undead he's saved by the 15 year old Luke. Luke is part of a society where humans and "magical" creatures have a mutual symbiotic relationship, something Dystrom has never witnessed before. A "bond" between two creatures, giving humans magic and the animal consciousness. Now someone is forcing this "bond", something that was supposed to be impossible. Dystrom and Luke will have to harness the power of "bonding" to stop this mysterious person, to save the magical beasts of the land.
