Sean Griffin was born in Arlington, Texas in 1972. He graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington, where he studied primarily sciences, including physics, chemistry and zoology. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Biology in 1995 and in 2003 obtained his MBA, also from the University of Texas at Arlington. 

Sean has always had a love for fiction writing, albeit fantasy, science fiction, detective or mystery. Sticking close to his roots (and the grandparents), he lives with his wife Rebecca near Fort Worth, Texas. They have two boys, Ian and Jack, who, like most young children, have an imagination as unpredictable as their father. Sean writes primarily at night and during the daylight hours he works in the pharmaceutical industry at a company based in Fort Worth. Sean's hobbies include playing ice hockey, collecting vintage to antique toys and, of course, talking to the neighborhood animals.

Synopsis: Thane is a typical teenage boy typical of course for Aegea, fascinating yet perilous medieval world where all beings have two forms: one human and one animal. Thane's life takes an unexpected turn when his animalkind becomes something never before seen a creature with incredible power that can shift the natural balance of life and bring hope to the hunted.

Elsewhere, in the rancid depths of a carnivore lair, an evil force named Fatalis, who is destined to rule Aegea, learns of this new threat to his dominion and builds a massive army with one simple yet sinister purpose death to any who dare oppose him. With time running out, Thane's people must turn to powerful yet reclusive strangers for help, beings who have thrived in isolation for centuries yet are now forced to take sides in an incredible war that will determine the fate of their world.
