Eye of the Manticore (Island of Fog Chronicles)

Thomas Patten is no ordinary boy. He and his classmates grew up on a foggy island, each destined to become a shapeshifter, able to transform into a fabulous creature of myth and legend.

But Thomas's first transformation came earlier than expected. Frightened, he ran away and got himself hopelessly lost in an unfamiliar forest and an entirely different world. Now, six years later, he must choose between a continued life with manticores in the forest... or a return to human society.

EYE OF THE MANTICORE is the first in a series of Island of Fog Chronicles following the adventures of various characters in the series.
