Insane Like Soot: Keen, a wild shapeshifter who spent most of his life alone, stumbles into a vast web of other people's varying and conflicting desires. Through his non-stop journey he learns more about himself and life than he ever expected. Set in a futuristic city, a crime lord runs all of the shady and dirty business. For initially unknown reasons, shifters have become wanted felons. The bored Crime Lord of the city picks Keen out of a crowd and kick starts Keen's unexpected and unwanted adventure filled with violence and thrills which intensifies increasingly as Keen figures out who he is, what he can really do and what actually matters to him. The style of limited third person is stretched to its boundaries as the point of view switches from person to person revealing bits of information about the world and what certain people hope for. Imaginative and creative description fills the story to the brim and builds the world around the characters each second. Keen, after an exhaustive and emotionally tormenting quest to get back the only thing he originally cared for, must decide to do what he'd never do and choose between the fate of his possibly only love and everyone else.
