On a chilly spring day, before the snow had melted from the ground, the majority of humanity woke up with a tattoo on their arm. Encrypted on the ink was a temptation; cigarettes or a girl or money, and if they succumbed to the temptation, then they were brutally killed.

On planet Gorgon, there are two main groups; the werewolves and the werecats. Of werecats, there are three clans; the tigers, the jaguars, and the lynx. All have the ability to turn from cat to human. The werewolves are in charge, though, as they have one advantage; they are able to control when they turn into werewolves. The werecats have no control over when they change. Each clan lives in a separate territory, unable to interact with one another. They have peace -for now, but some are not satisfied with the werewolves being in control. A manipulative tiger, Asgond, begins to stir up trouble within his own clan. He, unlike the rest, can control when he changes form. The other tigers view him as a God and allow him to be in charge of his clan. They believe everything he says, and he claims that the tigers should be in charge, no matter what the cost...Leonotis has reached the age of adulthood. For all of his life, there has only been one thing he's wanted; to serve the Alpha on his personal team of Soldiers. He is a soldier, but he works guarding the werewolves' border; not in combat. It isn't looking as though he will ever get to the position he desires. That is until he sees something he wasn't supposed to while on duty; something that could change the course of the lives of every werewolf and werecat for the worse.…
