   Summary

   Ryland Grace has lived a live as an outcast, trying to fit into a society that would shun him if they knew about his biology, even if he craves the touch of another. Even in his field he is considered a disgrace and has accepted to live out his days as a school teacher.

   One day he is given an opportunity to work on a project that is researching a mysterious mutated creature, tied to a secluded cult that worships ancient eldritch like gods. The creature has properties that could potentially benefit mankind.

   When Grace comes face to face with this creature, he finds not a monster but a lonely soul like him, desperate for one to understand him.
