When former Navy investigator and wolf shifter Cree Wilson returns home to the quiet community of Sekoia, she expects little more than lost hikers, petty disputes, and long nights of patrol. What she finds instead is a shattered family, four children hiding in the forest, and a truth the shifter councils would rather bury.

Hunted for what they are, the Buck children have survived the unthinkable—guided by their eldest brother’s fierce determination and the land itself. As Cree shelters them, Sekoia begins to close ranks, revealing a town built not on bloodlines or pack politics, but on loyalty, courage, and choice.

When hired hunters arrive to finish what was started, the community must decide where justice truly lies: with distant councils that value secrecy—or with the people willing to stand in the street and say no.

Sekoia Shifters is a powerful urban fantasy about found family, moral courage, and what happens when a town decides to protect its own—no matter the cost.

Seventeen‑year‑old Joline Clark wakes alone in the frozen ruins of Cold Lake with no memory of who she is or where her family has gone. All she has is a handful of photographs she doesn’t recognize, and a strange gray‑and‑black striped cat named Zephyr—who can talk, and who refuses to tell her everything he knows.

Earth is no longer ruled by humans. The Vellnaih—non-human overlords with the power to erase memories and break entire cities—keep humanity scattered, fearful, and controlled. And now they’re hunting her.

As Joline journeys through a wasteland of ice, ruins, and shattered settlements, fragments of her past begin to surface. The land itself seems to respond to her presence, stirring with a power she doesn’t understand—and one the Vellnaih fear. When a Vellnaih Priest closes in, Joline realizes the truth: she isn’t just searching for her family.
She’s running from what she is becoming.

With Zephyr at her side and the earth whispering beneath her feet, Joline must uncover who she was, what Cold Lake took from her, and why an empire is determined to never let her remember.

Because some memories aren’t meant to stay buried.

When warrior Raura is exiled for blood that no longer fits the world’s rules, she flees into the wild. Wounded, hunted, and haunted by visions of stars that don’t belong to her sky. What answers her flight is not mercy, but change.

A voice in her mind—Riddick, the wolf who has always guarded her soul. A falling star—John, a small warbeast forged for battle, bound by loyalty instead of command.

And a path leading into mist-choked mountains where ancient pacts, living stone, and forgotten kin still listen.

Kin of Mist and Stone is the beginning of a powerful fantasy journey where survival is not conquest—and the world listens to those who refuse to dominate it.
