Hybrids — Cheryl L. Hyde

Hybrid -- a combination of two or more species, breeds, or varieties to form a new and distinct life form.

The Hybrids of Shadow Tribe enjoy a peaceful and prosperous life. They have flourished in their community, as well as in the human world, undetected for generations, until now. Now the very reason they exist is trying to wipe them out -- extinguish them. Their enemies are the humans -- their creators -- who also call Earth home.

An unrest -- unease, disturbance -- is growing and making its way around the world as these humans form mercenary groups and go hunting -- hunting for the hybrids their ancestors created. Panterë, the young and future leader of the Shadow Tribe, and her mentor and fierce warrior protector, Shade, find themselves in the battle of their lives in an unfamiliar and hostile territory. If this fight is lost, so, too, is the future of the hybrids.

Ancestral alien DNA, shape shifting hybrids, and mercenary hostile humans clash, bringing chaos and death to a once peaceful and meaningful existence.
