The Shifters is the first book in The Shifters Trilogy/Saga. The Shifters chronicles the harrowing adventure of Zade Davidson, a regular high school Senior whose sudden shapeshifting powers occur just in time to save his life. Unfortunately, Zade can barely control his powers, and as soon as he discovers them he becomes a target of Martin Evers — who savagely employs an entire army of shapeshifters to hunt their own kind. Amongst those shapeshifters are Chen Lake and Roslyn Valez — two of Martin's most trusted and powerful servants. Chen Lake is vicious and merciless, and despite a flickering desire for a regular life, Roslyn is even more dedicated and infallible when it comes to hunting shapeshifters. Though Zade's shapeshifting abilities are powerful and his ingenious best friend Chace refuses to let him face things alone, Chen's relentless pursuit quickly forces them to abandon their families and run for their lives. Even with help from an unlikely, fellow-shapeshifting source, once Roslyn is tasked to bringing in Zade, his chances for survival nearly evaporate.
