Legend of Geriana: Part One

Is she the outcast or the chosen one?

In a realm where humans transform into animals, one girl stands apart, and her difference could alter the fate of an entire world.

Twelve-year-old Gerîanā, daughter of a powerful herd leader, should have discovered her animal form by now. But when her transformation fails to come, she becomes the focus of fear, suspicion, and whispers of banishment.

When fur and fang disguise friends as enemies and danger lurks in the friendliest of shadows, Gerîanā must uncover the truth of who she is before others decide it for her.

Alongside loyal friends and guided by ancient secrets, she embarks on a perilous journey through the wild and wondrous land of Ore, a world filled with breathtaking creatures, rival herds, and the echoes of forgotten legends.
