Shift: The Shiftwork Chronicles I

By: Lee, J. P.

Hidden deep in the shadows of the Appalachian Highlands survives a community of shapeshifters, training their twisted magic for criminal purposes against the country

that rejected them.

For seventeen-year-old Sybil, the mountains and the crime are all she's ever known. As Career Day approaches, she longs to prove herself to the magical society that both curses and fears her.

When a representative from the White House unexpectedly selects Sybil for a critical operation, she is thrust into an unfamiliar world with higher stakes than she ever imagined. As she faces her first job, Sybil begins to question not only her mysterious new employer but also her older brother, who harbors secrets of his own. With allegiances divided and her way of life threatened, Sybil must decide who she can trust before it is too late and she loses all she holds close.

Set in a richly imagined, fantastical version of America, Shift is an exciting premiere tale of magic, intrigue, betrayal, and loyalty.
