My flight never wanted me. I wasn’t dragon enough for them.

As the child of a human and a shifter, I teeter between both worlds and don’t fit into either. When an opportunity to leave my hometown presents itself, it’s an immediate yes from me. It isn't until I start planning my move that I realize I’m going to be moving to the middle of nowhere. There’s no turning back now.
