About this listen
In this captivating and transformative tale, the life of Sebastian takes a dramatic turn when a curse is unjustly placed upon him by an innocent woman, whom the superstitious villagers label as a witch. Little does Sebastian know that this curse will reshape the course of his existence, marking him as the inaugural Lycan, the first of his kind. As he grapples with the newfound challenges of his lycanthropy, he is faced with a consequential decision that alters the fate of his closest friend, transforming him into a werewolf.
Breaking ties with his past, Sebastian embarks on a journey to uncharted lands, seeking a fresh start and leaving behind the stigma of the cursed life he now leads. Amidst the uncertainties of his new reality, love blossoms, adding a layer of complexity to his journey. However, the tranquil romance is soon overshadowed by the looming threat of an impending war between the Lycans, Sebastian's kind, and the vampires. The stakes are raised even higher as a formidable adversary, the powerful Drakulis, enters the scene, casting a shadow over the already tense supernatural conflict.
As Sebastian grapples with the intricacies of his curse and the challenges of leading his kind into an imminent war, the narrative weaves a tapestry of re-imagined contemporary fiction. The choices he makes and the promises he keeps become pivotal in this gripping narrative, where the line between right and wrong is blurred, and the consequences of one's actions reverberate through the intricate dynamics of the supernatural realm. This reimagined contemporary fiction explores themes of love, loyalty, and the burden of leadership in the face of an inevitable and perilous war.

It brought me to Bloodborn Academy: an elite university that was designed specifically for lycans. However, I learnt very quickly that werewolves and lycans alike are being hunted.

So, you want to know my life… of how I became the Alpha wolf that I am today? My reputation speaks for itself. I am ruthless, cunning, and yes, very opportunistic. But I wasn’t always this way. There was a time in my life when I was innocent, but that was ripped from me and replaced with the need to survive in a world that had no mercy for weakness. My story isn’t for the faint of heart. The road to my success has been paved by sacrifice, betrayal, and blood. I want–no–I need you to know who I am.

My kind of book
I really liked how this book started off with the witch, showing how she cursed Sebastian. I enjoyed the details on how he changed and the science behind when there was going to be a full moon, but of course keeping in mind when this was written for. Especially how people travelled back then. Then the Dracula, how he could transform into mist and travel that way and at that sudden speed. I really enjoyed the creativity there. Then time would pass and the story would pick up with Sebastian or the one he turned. It ultimately lead to them being lonely and wanting to have more of their own kind around. Sebastian did it for companionship while the other did it to make more and in the end that caused problems with the vampires to wage war on the lycans. so Sebastian and the other two ran again, this time back to where everything started. Then more time passes, Sebastian has two boys, the vampires find him and the war breaks out. you'll have to listen to see what happens next.
The narrator in this one is perfect for this book. Each character has their own unique sound so you can tell them apart which I feel is important. I look forward to his work in the future.

Great story!
I liked how the story pulled me in from the beginning. I wanted so many time to go ahead to see what was going to happen. Sebastian getting cursed by a witch was the least of his worries. I was completely taken back by the way it ended. Can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer.
The narrator did an amazing job to where I could keep up with each character.
