My name is Saladin van Schalkwyk. And yes, there is a story behind that name. I was not an accident; I was a chimera, both in name and deep into my DNA. I was created. I did not know for what purpose, and the secrets that surrounded my past were too well guarded for me to break through. So when my friend Mal offered to take the chance of becoming a Lycan in order to infiltrate their ranks and find out the truth for me, I agreed to help him in any way I could. We both learned far more than we had bargained for. And one thing was clear. Everything I thought I knew about myself was wrong.
