Devon Hughes is the author of the Unnaturals series. She has always been inspired by the frontiers of nature and science and enjoys imagining how our ever-changing relationship with animals will look in the future. Like some of her characters, Devon lives in a city next to a river, with a view of distant trees that always seem to beckon her to another adventure. Though Devon did grow up with a beloved pet named Pookie, she is actually terrified of spiders.
Castor has always been a stray; he knows no other life than the one he has spent in the back alleys with his pack. But Castor’s tougher than he looks, and he’s always gotten by. Until the day he’s captured by a group of strange men and taken to a dark laboratory full of terrifying new breeds called the Unnaturals. Soon, Castor is transformed from a German shepherd mutt into a powerful beast with huge eagle wings. As he’s forced to compete against the other Unnaturals in an infamous fighting ring for prize money, he knows it’ll take all his courage to survive.
