Born without magic, Davis is an outcast in his own shapeshifter family. Yearning for his father's approval, he sets down a path that intertwines with Iris, a girl whose own ambitions are hindered by a mysterious illness. Their quest leads to Yuras, one of California's smallest towns, unremarkable until they discover a cave of magic-transferring stones. Now they have a chance to change their fates. But they're not alone.

When locals stumble upon the cave, they unknowingly set into motion a series of events that threatens to expose Davis's past.

As dark truths surface, one question endures: How much are they willing to take in their quest for power?

A perfect book for those who enjoy fast-paced stories, multiple POVs across multiple timelines, unique shapeshifters inspired by Chinese mythology, female protagonists, and complex villains.
