Sixteen year-old Geoffrey Gaidensen grew up a bit different from the other kids. His brother and three sisters all led normal lives, and they graciously fed the stray Siamese cat that came around every now and then; but Geoffrey himself was a fairly distant child. That happens when you live in a family with five kids and divorced parents. He never sees the stray his siblings feed; not unless he happens to look in a mirror. Geoffrey was a were, and all his siblings were normal humans. His mother wasn't aware of her sons gift, and his father was rarely allowed to visit them, though he was fighting to get a few of his kids under his custody. All this changes one fateful day when he sees a stray cat being chased by other cats. He normally wouldn't care, but more joined in the chase as it progressed, and he found himself following a pride of felines all chasing one single grayish tabby. He watched from a corner as they cornered the other feline, and then waited. Then he saw one of the boys shift. Now he's struggling to stay out of the way, trying to evade the boys that know his secret, each of whom has one of their own. His life will only grow more nightmarish with every draconian encounter, and every human authority that finds him out as submissive. Will he succumb and be drowned in the sea of pressure from this ancient world? Or will he manage to save himself, and learn to live in this new hell he's stuck in?
