SHIFTERS: Jessica's Story

About The Book

In the country of Eternis, fear is law-and those born with the Shifter gene are its prisoners. Branded as dangerous and subhuman, Shifters are hunted, tested, and locked away under the pretense of rehabilitation. The Government's propaganda machine ensures that Normals live in terror, believing even a household pet could secretly be a monster in disguise. On their eighteenth birthday, every citizen is tested. If the gene is active, their fate is sealed: the slums, the Shifter Rehabilitation Centre, or worse. With no rights, no protection, and nowhere to run, Shifters must choose between hiding who they are or risking everything to survive.

Jessica never asked for this life-she only wanted to escape. But when the truth stops her at the border and throws her into the heart of the resistance, she begins to see that survival might not be enough. Among rebels, outcasts, and fellow Shifters, she discovers a power she never knew she had-and a cause she never meant to fight for. As the line between freedom and fear blurs, Jessica must decide: will she keep running, or will she stand and shift the world?
