Species of the Spear: 1

"They found the spear wedged in the earth and regarded it with hungry eyes."Though veiled by myth and secrecy, the Homalis are all around us; an entire race of seemingly ordinary people with transformative abilities. The vampires, werewolves, merpeople, falcons of the peaks and sabres have almost silently coexisted with humanity for thousands of years, the miracles of their biology safe from malevolent hands. Until now.Homalis agent Orville Grey is finally on the cusp of catching his notorious werewolf adversary Lucius Claw, ready to put a past riddled with vengeance and misery to rest. But when Claw's gang appear to possess species-threatening intel, Orville finds himself swept into an investigation of much graver proportions, where the safety of his kind may hang in the balance.Meanwhile, across the Earth, teenagers just discovering their abilities are being thrown into the chaos of a world unknown to them. Jake, a boy orphaned by Claw's actions, and Lilly, a lone burglar from the streets of Paris, are taken to a remote facility to piece together their pasts and newfound identities. But even there not all is as it seems; the most innocent of classes hide deep secrets, and the tamest of training exercises harbour immense danger.As trust runs thin and monsters rise out of the shadows, can this handful of strangers reconcile the wildness within themselves and unite their strengths against the wave of extinction heading their way?
