Divided by a metaphysical barrier, Opal Island is on the brink of chaos. The founders of Parish One, The Dusabes, are in the middle of a leadership transition and generational inheritance for its youngest member, Contessa Dusabe. She has always been different from her family. When her evolution day came and went, Contessa was sure she would never be accepted into the pack as a non-wolf, just like her best friend Chelsea. Everything changes after the eldest shapeshifter predicts the date of her transformation. Contessa prepares to finally be welcomed into the fold but things don’t go as planned. Beyond the great barrier, Parish Two has decided to destroy the Dusabe family and take all of Opal Island for themselves.

"Writing a book is no small feat and certainly isn’t one for the weak of heart. Congratulations on getting all of this hard work done!"
"Amina Lovell is what we fantasy fans have been waiting for. Opal Island dares to be vulnerable in a wonderfully enchanting way."
Today we’d like to introduce you to Amina Lovell.
Hi Amina, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
I have been writing since 2011. I worked my way through various administrative and entertainment work eventually landing a news producer job after graduate school. I worked as a news producer for three and a half years, I really hated the environment and the type of writing I was doing. I felt repressed, unseen, and unheard. I was definitely hiding, scared to express what I felt, or be too different from my family and peers.
I decided to quit my job and pursue creative writing full-time, bringing Opal Island to life.
