A novel about shape shifters and those who walk a near-future Earth, with powers they are only now beginning to learn about and use. Abilities humans of today are becoming aware of as they explore the potenetial that has always been a part of their genetic makeup, from the most primitive humans, to present-day man. This story is about Mason, a wolf shape shifter. Mason has been banished from the Wolven Clan, which is tantamount to death. But instead of death, he discovers the secrets of his ancient past. And in this revelation, it becomes his destiny to expose memories of the planet's history - visions of its future. And he must present these memories to the elders who banished him. During his exile he expected to find isolation on the empty beach at the coastal shore he called home - instead, he crosses paths with an orphaned child. Even more startling, he discovers another race of sentient beings; a different race of shape shifters. This is the first novel in the shape shifter series, but it is not necessary to read the books in sequence. They may be enjoyed independent of the other.
