The world calls him a monster. Tobin is starting to think the world got it wrong. Tobin has spent years documenting the Changed-humans transformed into creatures the old world never could have imagined. Horns. Scales. Claws. Bodies rewritten into something new. Then he meets Drokan. Seven and a half feet tall, blue, brutally powerful, and equipped with four very distracting arms, the Kharun should be everything Tobin has been taught to fear.
Instead, Drokan protects him. Challenges him. And makes Tobin question whether he's spent so much time studying the Changed that he's forgotten to actually see the people they've become. As their attraction turns impossible to ignore, Tobin is pulled deeper into a dangerous world of trafficking, exploitation, and people who see Changed bodies as commodities-or weapons. Someone wants Drokan. And once they realize Tobin is the one person Drokan would destroy everything to protect, they know exactly where to strike.
But loving a monster may be the least dangerous choice Tobin makes. Because Drokan isn't the creature Tobin needs to fear. The real monsters still look human.
