Fleabag

A lone wolf cub struggling to survive mutates into a creature possessing unpredictable-even human-abilities in this grimdark fantasy adventure series. Somewhere in the toxic Bone Pits, where mechanical nightmares roam, an emaciated and wounded young wolf clings to life. Wracked with pain, driven by instinct, it crawls across the subterranean landscape, avoiding the unnatural horrors that dwell there and seeking sustenance while fending off rats, insects, and other vermin stalking it as prey. Then it encounters a deity who collects human souls and is astonished to discover a wolf, as its species has been extinct for centuries. The god spares the wolf, bestowing the wretched beast with the means to survive until it eventually acquires the power of heightened intelligence and the ability to alter its physiology, turning into a shapeshifting monstrosity. Part of an adventuring party scouring the tunnels, the elf Emhreeil was injured and left for dead. Blind and with broken limbs, she suffers in unbearable agony, waiting for her body to quit-or for something to devour her. When the wolf finds Emhreeil, it pounces on the opportunity to learn human speech from the pitiful being incapable of protecting herself. Now, Emhreeil is the wolf's de facto companion as it struggles to escape the Bone Pits, dragging her through the twisted labyrinth and fighting the vicious predators hiding in the shadows. And with every battle, the wolf evolves in self-awareness and cunning, mutating into a creature that nature never meant to breed . . .

Evolving with human traits that conflict with its animal nature, a wolf is stalked by those seeking to capture and control it, in this grimdark fantasy. Wounded and fighting for survival in a complex dungeon consumed by civil war, a wolf's need to lead its own pack is fulfilled by a loyal and devoted connection to its elven companion, Emhreeil. Lost to each other, they've become easy prey for the monstrous creatures that prowl the multilevel mazes. To find Emhreeil, the wolf must learn to control its shapeshifting physiology and other supernatural abilities. Meanwhile, despite losing an arm and her sight, Emhreeil isn't completely helpless against the horrors of the dungeon. Having experienced her own transformation into vampirism, she now feeds on anything-rats and humans alike-to stay alive. Joined by her friend Katherine, she's drawn into the escalating conflict between various dungeon factions and vows to slaughter anyone who threatens their growing circle of allies. As she embraces her rising savagery, Emhreeil is determined to increase her bloodthirsty powers and find her beloved wolf. But Emhreeil isn't the only one searching for the wolf. Baron Manos Ironheart, a ruthless dungeon lord, has learned of the extraordinary beast's existence. Now he's determined to possess it, tame it, and make it his pet-and, eventually, his weapon. The bounty Ironheart places on the wolf's head tempts every merciless hunter in the dungeon. But with each confrontation, the hunters unknowingly strengthen the wolf's evolution . . .

Once part of a dying species, one wolf now harnesses supernatural and godlike abilities as it fights for survival, in this grimdark fantasy adventure. It's been nearly a millennium since wolves prowled the earth. They're only spoken of as mythical destroyers of life. But one solitary wolf, born a simple, primal beast, is becoming the very monster of legend feared by both humans and otherworldly creatures. A multilimbed shapeshifter, it slaughters anything that threatens it or the pack of companions it has sworn to protect, including Emhreeil; her human friend, Katherine; and a goblin known as Scruffy. All three are grateful for the wolf's guidance but frightened of its growing power. And as the team navigates warring factions battling for control of a dungeon labyrinth, they discover one of those factions wants to ally themselves with their party. This partnership would allow them the means to telepathically communicate with their savage leader-and access a ritual blood spell to make the wounded Emhreeil whole once more, an offer they can't refuse. As the two groups join forces, Emhreeil undergoes a physical transformation as uncanny as the wolf's: now she's a winged elven vampire, consumed with bloodlust and evolving into an immortal being. Although powerful, her healing comes at the cost of her humanity. With each victory won against monsters and hunters living in the dungeon, she descends further into madness. And as she and the wolf prove themselves as apex predators, they begin to reach toward a godhood that Katherine and Scruffy don't-and can't-share. But their enemies still stalk them. The dungeon lord Baron Manos Ironheart will stop at nothing to make the wolf his personal weapon, and Emhreeil's volatile mother, Marquess Irythiel, has massacred a dungeon noble's family in a quest to find her daughter. As these threats and more close in, the wolf and his pack know they must break out of the underground labyrinth . . . and take the fight to the surface once and for all.
