The Were Chronicles takes a fresh approach to shapeshifter fiction by treating the ability as a biological trait rather than a curse or magical gift. In this world, Were-kind are an accepted minority, and what form you shift into depends on what you were last exposed to before the full moon. The first book, Random, introduces a young Were whose transformations are erratic, making him a subject of both fear and scientific interest.
Wolf and Shifter continue to build out the world, exploring the political and ethical questions that come with a society where people can become any living creature. Alexander blends science fiction concepts with fantasy worldbuilding in a way that makes the series feel different from typical werewolf fiction.
