Bitten by a werewolf while recovering from top surgery, a trans teen must race to stop himself becoming full wolf... A pulse-pounding new YA werewolf horror, perfect for fans of Cemetery Boys, Hell Followed with Us and Stephen King.

Having spent his winter break recovering from top surgery, seventeen-year-old Hunter is excited to spend his last months of high school in a body he can feel comfortable in. That is until one night, when a wild animal comes out of the woods and nearly kills him.

Although initially just happy to be alive, Hunter quickly realizes that his injuries are turning his body into something horrible... A werewolf. But with time running out, Hunter must race to keep his friends safe and to save himself, before the body he's fought so hard to have slips away from him for good...
