Series: Animalians Hall (Book One)
One girl. One bonded beast. A magic that runs wild—and a destiny that won't be tamed.

ABOUT THE STORY:

Pax Nygard didn’t come to the Hundred Halls to make friends. She came to survive.

Hunted for her rare bond with a mystical fox named Kali, Pax finds refuge in the Animalians Hall—where magic intertwines with the instincts of beast and human alike. But peace is short-lived. The moment she sets foot inside the school, Pax is swept into a storm of magical secrets, political intrigue, and savage rivalries.

As her connection with Kali deepens, so do the dangers stalking them both. A rogue faction wants to harness their wild magic for its own dark purposes, and the fragile balance of the Animalians Hall threatens to shatter. To protect her companion—and herself—Pax must master a primal power no one truly understands… and embrace the untamed spirit within.
