"Fast-paced, violent and very dark."

THE STORY

DAVID SWORE TO SAVE LIVES.

​

The noble physician has it all. A fulfilling career, a beautiful wife and his first child on the way. He has everything to live for until one night shift threatens the future he worked so hard to build.

​

A dying man is rushed into the ER with a gunshot wound and something in his blood that defies diagnosis. David fights to save him, but fails, earning a bite on his hand in the process. He thinks it a flesh wound, but he’s wrong.

​

DEAD WRONG.

​

A change is happening inside David. Something unexplainable is making him stronger. Angrier. Hungrier. Desperate for answers, a stranger approaches, telling David he knows what afflicts him. A condition where the only cure is fatal.

​

As the full moon rises, David’s humanity will slip away, leaving him with an impossible choice. One that will tear apart everything he loves.

​

David swore to save lives.

 

​THE WOLF WILL DEVOUR THEM.

​

Before the horror of My Pet Werewolf, a beast is born. And blood will spill.
