Mongrel: The Picis - Book 2
Every wish has a price. Every inheritance has teeth.
Emma has spent her life living with Antonia, the ancient, violent presence beneath her skin. But when Beto returns from Ur wounded, stripped of his memories, and carrying a darkness that should not have followed him home, the past begins opening doors that were meant to remain sealed.
Those doors lead to Anton, a man who sacrificed his soul to save his people; Olesya, the woman he loved beyond reason; and Nas, whose hunger for forbidden knowledge turned curiosity into betrayal.
As Emma follows the fragments of their history, she discovers that her own bloodline was deliberately buried beneath contradictions, altered records, and lies designed to protect her from a terrifying certainty. Meanwhile, an old war is awakening. Remvolbents and Servanz gather beneath opposing feathers, Marcel continues moving pieces from the shadows, and Beto struggles to recover not only his memories, but the creature he once chose to become.
Soon, investigation becomes war.
And Emma must decide whether blood, prophecy, and the monster within her determine who she is, or whether identity is something even fate cannot choose for her.
Mongrel is the second book in The Picis trilogy, a darker, bloodier descent into the mythology introduced in Lost Feathers. Filled with forbidden bargains, fractured memories, dark humor, ancient creatures, brutal battles, and love that refuses to remain safely buried, it expands the world of the Picis while driving the story toward a collision with the past itself.
Because some monsters are inherited.
Others are chosen.
