He is used to getting kicked and endured worst treatment, but now he can’t stand the loneliness anymore and therefore decides to seek company regardless of the cost. However despite all the hints, Moon understands well that he is not one of the Fell (dangerous predators), but explaining this to the dumb groundlings would be another entirely different story. Surprisingly, this would happen when the groundlings saw his other shifter form this is because, his humanoid black scaled body when transformed closely resembles the most deadly predators on their planet- the Fell. However, he knew well that his hiding would never last forever and each time he would be discovered, and he would be chased out almost killed. His mother, sister, and three brothers all died and ever since their death (thirty-five) years/turns, he never discovered what he was and had to adjust to this scary and mysterious world alone.Īll the years he had been alone, Moon lived in the “dark” with the Groundlings trying to make a home for himself. His family was killed when he was a small boy, and he is the only survivor in his family. He transforms into a dragon like a creature with claws, wings and black scales. The story introduces Moon a shape-shifter, but the problem is that he does not know what he is. The Cloud Roads is the debut novel in Books of the Raksura series.
