Sam has always felt like he's been watched. Watched by something dark, evil, and inhuman. Not long after a girl his age disappears, the monsters start following him. Creatures with long, dark horns and black cloaks lurk in the shadows, watching him from the woods near his home. When his sister Margret is taken, he follows her into the Weald: a wonderfully horrible realm of monsters, alchemy, aristocracies, mercenaries, and chaos. In order to survive in such a place, he turns into a monster: a creature with blue fur, long fangs, and horns too big for his head. While searching for his sister, Sam discovers that he's part of an ancient line of kings, and the last heir has recently been assassinated. Sam just wants to find his sister and go home, but the Weald has other plans for him. ><><><><><><>< The cover and illustrations inside were done by me! Check out more of my art in my art book!
