Welcome to the story of Coyote!
I’m Matilda, author of Coyote. This story places you in the shoes of a shapeshifter in North America. Hunted ruthlessly for as long as you can remember, you’ve never been able to settle anywhere. Forced to stay on the run without a home, friends, or family to rely on, you’ve been turned into a survivor.
Currently, the demo includes the Prologue, Chapter 1, and Chapter 2, placing it at about 53 000 words. Hope you’ll like it!
Introduction
The stars twinkle over the treetops, the north star a guiding light better than any compass.
Only your footfalls can be heard between the trees, paws landing almost silently in the moss.
This has been your whole life, moving from place to place, never settling down or finding a home of your own.
The hunters still nip at your heels, driving you forward.
Stopping means dying.
It is how it has always been. But perhaps it can change.
Maybe, just maybe, you could win the fight for your right to live.
Maybe you could find a home.

Characters
Liam/Lia:
The young wolf has been your dearest and only friend from before you can remember. They’ve always had a special smile just for you, a twinkle in their eyes that is only present when the two of you are alone. It’s been years since you saw them last, and you miss the way they would brighten your dour days.
Kody/Kara:
The soft bear that’s given you far more kindness than you expected. A kind smile and gentle brown eyes that always try to make you feel safe and welcome despite knowing nothing of you. They opened your home to you when you needed it most and then helped you more still.
Taylor:
The introverted bear is as far from a “people person” as one could get, a stark contrast to their older sibling Kody/Kara. They don’t like nor trust you in the least, and they make no effort to hide that. They would rather you took all your troubles with you and left.
Vincent/Vivienne:
A kind and surly stranger who stopped to help when most are content to ignore you. Their laidback attitude hides secrets they would never dream of telling you, at least, not yet.
Definitely looking forward to updates
