CHANGELING by STEVE FEASEY

His father was a werewolf. His uncle may be a vampire. It’s time for fourteen–year–old Trey Laporte to discover the beast within…

Trey thought he was an ordinary teenager. Then he meets a mysterious stranger, Lucien Charron – luminously pale, oddly powerful, with eyes that seem flecked with fire and skin that blisters in sunlight.

Trey finds himself in a luxury London penthouse, like a Bond villain’s lair. It’s the heart of a sinister empire, built on the powers of the netherworld – werewolves, vampires, sorcerers, djinns. Trey himself has a power that’s roaring to break free. Is he a boy or is he a beast?
