The Black family leads a simple life in Moonwood Mill, a haven for werewolves. Raelyn and daughter Caelyn find contentment in the shadows, while Seth and Jay, more restless, yearn for more excitement. Raelyn aims to shield her sons from the harshness of other worlds, but Seth and Jay have already faced discrimination.
To sustain themselves, Raelyn and Seth fish and collect, preferring independence over relying on traditional employment. Financial struggles lead to frequent outbursts of fury from Seth and Jay, concealing the trauma that Raelyn and Caelyn endure from their unpredictable moods and destructive tendencies. Can the family find a harmonious balance when half are werewolves and half are human?
Raelyn Black
Single mom Raelyn Black leads a peaceful life with her three children in Moonwood Mill. Raising two werewolf sons presents its challenges, but Raelyn’s priority is creating an environment where their differences are celebrated and protected. Fishing with her oldest son helps Raelyn make ends meet, but financial struggles persist. Her dream is to earn enough for Jay and daughter Caelyn to attend college, pushing her to venture into unfamiliar worlds in search of rare, valuable fish. Navigating these new realms comes with risks for werewolves and their families so Raelyn must proceed with caution. Can she overcome the obstacles to secure a better future for her family?
Seth Black
Seth Black harbors a deep desire to join the Wildfangs, drawn to their appreciation for animalistic instincts and adventurous spirit. His secret crush on leader Rory Oaklow fuels this longing, with a self-imposed ultimatum to remain single forever if rejected.
However, Seth faces a dilemma as he recognizes his peaceful mother’s opposition to the Wildfangs’ values. Feeling partly responsible for the family’s financial well-being, he grapples with the conflict between caring for his family and pursuing an independent life with the Wildfangs. The frustration he feels often turns to aggression, frightening his mother and sister, Caelyn. Will Seth continue to settle for a life that doesn’t align with his true desires?
Jay Black
Jay Black possesses a laid-back yet somewhat rebellious spirit, torn between joining the Wildfangs or the Moonwood Collective as he searches for where he fits in. Feeling out of place at Copperdale High School due to his werewolf roots and even less comfortable in wealthier worlds like Oasis Springs, Jay grapples with his identity.
Everything changes when he meets Bella Benevolent. Bella’s unwavering belief in Jay, regardless of his werewolf status, resonates deeply with him. Her fearlessness in standing up for werewolves and others captivates Jay, sparking strong feelings. However, Jay faces competition for Bella’s affection. Can he embrace his werewolf identity, find himself, and ultimately win Bella’s love?
Caelyn Black
Caelyn Black yearns to fit in at Copperdale High School, but her crippling social anxiety becomes a significant barrier. Complicating matters, Caelyn hails from a home where her werewolf brothers’ spontaneous eruptions of fury force her and her mother into hiding.
Despite dreaming of winning a scholarship to Britechester University, Caelyn’s journey is hindered by the need to step out of her comfort zone and interact with others. In a quest for courage, she aligns herself with rebellious thrill-seekers Puck Perkins and Aislinn Allstar. Unfortunately, Puck and Aislinn, who prioritize thrills over education, coax Caelyn into actions that could jeopardize her future. Can Caelyn summon the courage to open up her world to those who will uplift her instead?
