Synopsis

Two things that Kevin told Tess have remained etched on her memory. She will meet someone else who has the extraordinary skill to switch into the animal of their choice and she will pass on to them the knowledge that this ability ends on a switcher's fifteenth birthday. As the serene phoenix, Kevin has no idea the switcher Tess has found has been seduced by the power of the sinister vampire. Tess has to rely solely on her own strength and will to resist and check Martin's growing powers. A compelling read, by turns chilling, exciting and sensitively written.
