Opis

Fantasy fiction at its finest, The Morphients by Elizabeth Collins is part fairytale, part action-thriller. Unique and surreal, this fascinating debut novel adapts the traditions of shape shifter myths, legends, and fables. It introduces a band of men and women called The Morphients who are human-and not. Set in modern times, a malicious villain sets his sights on destroying all Morphients. At his behest, Morphients are systematically hunted, captured, and given the choice: either to be transformed into a non-changing human or be put to death. Led by Swinger Owl, and a few other likeminded, The Morphients begin a quest to survive the genocide. Battling prejudice and injustice, they will discover that what makes each one fiercely independent, in truth, makes them undeniably human. Whatever the animal form they become, existence is worth fighting for, no matter what the outcome.
