"[A] thought-provoking examination of power, survival, worth, and the ethics of human-animal relationships all wrapped up in a heart-pounding horror novel" -Elizabeth, Plant Based Bride

Book Blurb

 

In an eat or be eaten world, domestication is a death sentence.

 

When Janie chose the isolated sheep farm, she knew her husband would hunt her down. What she didn’t expect was Rob and Howard. Rob rules the farm with the same domination tactics she uses to train dogs, while Howard believes only human supremacists think humans should be treated any differently than other animals. Janie inadvertently jumps out of the frying pan and into the fire. She wishes to leave her old self behind. She wants to transform. Will she devolve into meat, metamorphose into a monster, or transcend beyond her domesticated limitations?
