Shifted (PARANORMAL)

Shifted is a haunting, paranormal tale of transformation, secrets, and survival, where nothing is as it seems, and the line between human and beast is far thinner than anyone could ever imagine. Lila Dawson, a quiet and seemingly ordinary woman living in a small, secluded town, has always felt out of place-there's something about her that doesn't quite fit. When a series of unsettling events begin to unfold, Lila is thrust into a world she never knew existed, a world of creatures that shift between human and animal, and a fate she never asked for.

Lila's life is turned upside down when she is attacked by a mysterious creature one night while walking home. The creature is unlike anything she's ever seen-half-human, half-beast, with glowing eyes and inhuman strength. After narrowly escaping with her life, she begins to experience strange changes-her senses sharpen, her skin tingles with newfound energy, and she has an insatiable urge to run through the woods at night, feeling the pull of something primal deep within her.

As the shifts grow stronger, Lila realizes that she is becoming one of them-a shapeshifter, a creature of legend that can transform into an animal. But not just any animal-she is becoming a Lycan, a rare and powerful species capable of transforming into a wolf-like creature. As she struggles to control her newfound abilities, Lila discovers that she's not alone. There are others like her, hidden in plain sight, living among humans and bound by a complex hierarchy of power, pack loyalty, and ancient laws.

Enter Finn Carter, a brooding and mysterious man with a dark past who offers to train Lila in the ways of the Lycan. But his teachings come with a price. Finn reveals that Lila's transformation isn't a random occurrence-it's part of an ancient prophecy, one that speaks of a Lycan who will either unite the divided packs or tear them apart. Lila's abilities are far more powerful than she realizes, and with this power comes the responsibility to make choices that could affect the future of the entire Lycan community.

As Lila struggles to come to terms with her shifting nature, she discovers a deeper conspiracy lurking within the Lycan world. A rogue faction, led by Viktor Hale, a ruthless and power-hungry Lycan Alpha, is planning to use the power of the prophecy to overthrow the current leadership and seize control. Viktor will stop at nothing to gain dominance, even if it means sacrificing those closest to him. With his pack growing stronger and more dangerous, Lila must decide whether to accept her role in the prophecy or fight against the pull of fate.

But as the battle for control of the packs intensifies, Lila finds herself torn between Finn, whose loyalty she's unsure of, and the undeniable pull of the creature within her. The deeper she delves into the Lycan world, the more she uncovers about her own past-about her bloodline and the ancient connection she has to both the Lycan and the human worlds. What started as a fight for survival quickly turns into a struggle for the very soul of the Lycan race.

Shifted is a dark, thrilling paranormal tale that explores the complexities of identity, power, and the struggle between destiny and free will. Themes of self-discovery, loyalty, and the battle between light and dark are woven into every page as Lila faces the terrifying truth about her transformation and the darkness she must confront. As Lila navigates a world of shifting allegiances, pack politics, and forbidden love, she must learn to control her shifting powers or risk losing herself-and everything she holds dear-to the creatures that would see her destroyed.
