About the book
Perfect for fans of the Animorphs and Warriors series, Devon Hughes's exhilarating debut is full of friendship, heroism, high stakes, and epic adventure.
Castor has always been a stray, prowling with his pack in the back alleys of Lion's Head. That is, until the day that he's captured and taken to a dark laboratory full of terrifying creatures. They're called Unnaturals, and they're made to fight.
Soon Castor is transformed from a mutt into a powerful beast with huge eagle wings—and he's thrust into the fighting ring. He knows he'll need all of his courage to survive. But it will take unexpected human and animal allies and something even more than courage for him to save the Unnaturals....
- A Reluctant Hero: Castor was just a stray trying to survive. Now, he’s a powerful beast with eagle wings and the only hope for a laboratory full of captive creatures.
- Genetically Modified Gladiators: In a dark lab, scientists create terrifying hybrid creatures called Unnaturals, built for one purpose: to fight in a brutal arena for entertainment.
- Found Family: To survive, Castor must forge a new pack, relying on unexpected animal and human allies who are also fighting back against their captors.
- High-Stakes Survival: An action-packed adventure perfect for middle grade readers who love the fast-paced danger of the Warriors and Animorphs series.
