BEASTMARKED
When the skies over Earth flicker with an inexplicable cosmic light, 20% of the world’s population undergoes a transformation—gaining animal traits tied to a single species. Wings, claws, fur, and fangs become the new reality for millions. Society splits overnight: women, granted the traits of powerful animals like bears and elephants, rise to new heights of dominance, while men, transformed into smaller creatures like cats and birds, are seen as inferior curiosities.
For Hermes Caine, a sixteen-year-old track star, life changes in an instant when he gains the sharp eyes, tufted ears, and sleek tail of a Maine Coon cat. At first, Hermes embraces his transformation, finding strength in his newfound agility and instincts. But the world isn’t as accepting as he hoped. Fear and prejudice grow as “Beast Folk” are ostracized, hunted, and subjected to cruel experiments.
"Beastmarked” is a gripping tale of survival, vengeance, and the primal instincts that bind and divide us all.
