A Beast Unlike Any Other

by Daniel P. Riley
No reviews yet. Be the first.

Mira Hapsburg has always known she was different—stunted by a chaotic homeschool life under her eccentric mother, Andy, and a cocktail of mysterious pills that kept her forever on the edge of adolescence. But when acceptance to Yale offers a ticket to freedom, Mira seizes it, ditching the drugs and stepping into a world of promise and possibility.

Until the full moon rises.

The pills weren't protection—they were a prison, suppressing a savage genetic legacy: lycanthropy. As claws and fangs erupt in the heart of New Haven, Mira's dreams shatter under the weight of primal hunger and bone-cracking fury. Overwhelmed, she flees the life she craved, plunging into shadows where every howl echoes her deepest fear: What am I?

Enter an unlikely savior—rugged, enigmatic, and dangerously alluring—who knows the beast within all too well. Together, they unravel a heritage drenched in blood and myth, forcing Mira to confront not just the monster she's becoming, but the family secrets that birthed it.

From the bestselling author of Heir of the Dragon comes A Beast Unlike Any Other, Book Two in the Modern Horrors series—a pulse-pounding tale of self-discovery, dark conspiracy, and a wild heart that refuses to be caged.
