Prey

There is a world parallel to your own. It's the world of Shape-shifters.
Humans who were born with the ability to shape-shift into animals.
It started out as a science experiment conducted by the government, genetically splicing animal DNA with human embryos. A civilization.
The Admiral is the leader of the entire Shifter civilization. His job is to lead the people and ensure safety.
But his latest proclamation involves the unfortunate life of Daelyn.
Even as a shape-shifter, she is more special then anyone realizes.
But as soon as others come to know the strength of her powers, her mother takes her away for Dae's own safety.
For thirteen years, Dae hid from both the human world and the shifter world.
When her mother dies, she leaves Dae with one last piece of advice: Don't let anyone control you.
