Yesterday, my name was Elizabeth Summers. I was 43 years old with a good job that I didn’t like much, but it paid the bills. When I woke up today, I was told my name is Kimberly Sparks. My birth certificate says I’m 24 years old. I don’t have a job or a place to live. But there’s a seriously hot guy taking me home with him. Elizabeth Summers died yesterday in a terrible fire and Kimberly Sparks was born. But I’m not a phoenix; I’m a werewolf. Who knew?

A man fades away, but not before ensuring his legacy is passed on. A boy becomes a man, and starts to awaken to his destiny. A monster lurks among men, and thus becomes more than what he is. A young woman comes to terms with her future, then works to protect the future of others. And all of this comes about from the edge of a blade, as a hero is not born, but rather made.

"I am not a good person. I'm not who Atlas ends up with. It's just a fact of life. The good guy ends up with someone good, the hero with the heroine, and the villain is left to die." Or rot in jail, as it is in my case. "And I'm not the hero of this story, Eli. I'm the villain. And the villain never gets a happy ending." Lavender is a stripper with a dark past. A year ago, she ran away from her abusive husband and changed her identity. She thought she was finally able to start over, when her husband finds her and demands that she goes back to him. However, before he can take her back, he is shot in the head by a mysterious stranger with mismatched eyes. Lavender runs away, knowing the cops are going to frame her for the murder. Still, she decides to learn how to protect herself in case the stranger ever finds her, but finds herself getting close to her annoying and overly enthusiastic self-defense teacher, despite knowing that he would hate her when he found out the truth about her.
