The Beasts That Blind

As a shapeshifter your first transformation is inevitable, but becoming a beast is a choice. And for Fiametta Teralane, it's always the wrong one. Twenty-year-old Fia has seen both sides of hunger—the starving Disparates, and the Descendants with an insatiable lust for power. Though her family has clawed their way out of poverty and she is planning to attend the only university open to both lineages, Fia refuses to become one of the elitist beasts she's constantly surrounded by. However, when her father forces her to play the deadly sport of Form Fury, her morals begin to waver. Fia is betrayed by every Descendant she encounters, even the select few she thought were exceptions, and she quickly realizes the only way to survive their ruthlessness is to become the beast she never wanted to be. Fia bonds with her fellow Disparates as her prejudice grows, but after a drunken mistake leads her to have her first shift in front of a mysterious and handsome Descendant named Cade, she's forced to trust an outsider with a secret that could destroy her. Torn between two worlds, Fia's identity, morally-gray actions, and conflicting attractions blur the lines she spent her entire life drawing. But with her first Form Fury match on the horizon, she can't afford another mistake—especially when it comes to choosing a side.
