Every one of us has the beast inside. But for Kyrie Smith, the beast is no metaphor. Since she was 15, when she first shape-shifted into a savage, black panther, Kyrie has questioned her humanity. Although she's managed to keep her inner beast secret most of the time, the panther occasionally emerges to strike unbidden. Terrified, she'll hurt someone while in panther form, Kyrie moves from town to town, searching for a way to feel human again. Kyrie's lonely life changes forever while waitressing at a cheap diner in Goldport, Colorado. Investigating frantic screams from the parking lot, Kyrie stumbles upon a blood-spattered dragon crouching over a mangled human corpse. The dragon shape-shifts back into her co-worker, Tom, naked, dazed and unable to remember how he got there. Thrust into an ever-changing world of shifters, where shape-shifting dragons, giant cats and other beasts wage a secret war behind humanity's back, Kyrie may find the answers she seeks-with help from Tom, a mythical object called the Pearl of Heaven, and her own inner beast.

"Tom, you might need to take over the grill," she said, as she passed him. "As people start coming in who want their early morning dinners." He looked surprised. "Sure," he said. "I can probably load dishes while I'm up there too, if you want me to." She didn't tell him anything about Frank and his girlfriend, but she was thinking. What she was

He put the small yellow tablet in her hand. She swallowed it with a gulp of tea. Presently she felt as if the world around her were becoming blurry. She was only vaguely aware of Keith's leading her to her bed, and tucking her in. For such a young kid—though he might be her age in chronological years—he had an oddly maternal

would stay like that. Till they were caught. She reached for his arm. His skin felt skin cold, clammy to the touch. Was it being the dragon? Or being naked in the night? Or the shock? She had to do something about the shock. No. She had to do something, period. "Come," she said. "Come." He obeyed. Like a child, he allowed her to pull him all the way to the back door of the diner. She stooped to pick up her clothes, trying not to get blood on them. * * * Tom stumbled after Kyrie, confused.

lucky to have a job. Now it was over and he'd be lucky to ever have another. What were the owners of these cars employed at? What did they do? Fuming, he turned away. Damn. This going-straight thing was like some sort of disease. You caught it, and then you had the hardest trouble getting rid of it. They probably didn't sell honesty-be-gone tablets at the local drugstore. He walked down one of the cracked sidewalks that ran along the front of the pocket-sized lawns, kicking a stray piece of

they all turned and stared, and Kyrie took the opportunity to rush forward and out of the enclosure. They turned back to look at her, when she was in the alley, but she thought none of them would be sure he had seen her in the garden, and started walking away toward the main road and home. "Hey, miss," a voice said behind her. Kyrie turned around. "Are you the one who owns the castle?" one of the homeless men asked. She shook her head and his friend who stood by him elbowed him on the side.
