A Shifter's Tale

A Shifter's Tale is a slow-burn, emotionally charged companion novel set during the missing month and a half of To Dream Beneath Dying Stars. This is the story hidden between the cracks—between violence and silence, trust and trauma. When a feral, half-starved wolf shifter named Remi crashes into the life of a wandering empath with a stubborn streak named Levi, neither expects to survive the encounter. Let alone grow to rely on each other.

What begins as a tense collision of wounded souls slowly unravels into something rarer than peace: understanding. In the hush of the roadside and midnight rest stops, under the glow of an rv's lights, a bond begins to form. Not from convenience—but from fire. From survival.

Haunted by addiction, betrayal, and a past written in blood, Remi is a man who trusts no one—and certainly not himself. But Levi's gentle persistence and ragtag warmth force open cracks he's spent years sealing shut. And when danger rears its head again, Remi finds himself fighting not just for escape—but for the first place that's ever felt like home.

A Shifter's Tale is about choosing vulnerability when it's easier to disappear. It's about love, but not the easy kind. The kind that claws through bone to get out. The kind you never forget.
