The Books of Barakhai

In a moment of chaos, Benton Collins, a graduate student, chases an escaped lab rat into a storeroom that opens a portal to Barakhai. This mystical realm is inhabited by inadvertent shapeshifters, humans who transform into animals for half of their day or night. Ben's journey into this world not only alters his understanding of reality but also profoundly impacts his life in ways he never imagined.
