Perfected by nature. Twisted by science. A miracle cure gone very, very wrong. An abandoned forest resort should have been paradise for a creature like Ishmael. Isolated from civilization, so far removed from human eyes, Ishmael could have reveled in his true nature without threat of discovery. But he had been abducted, drugged, and marooned there without a word, sent into exile by the cryptic Wyrd Council. And he's not alone. In this unholy quarantine, Ishmael is just another mouth to feed. And he's no longer the apex predator.
