She was not born a monster; she became one.

Society has destroyed many innocent lives, and Claire Wyatt was no exception.

What began as a simple birthday wish soon hardened into something far more inevitable. In a world where few stand for what they believe in, fear does not disappear; it lingers, shaping those who are forced to live with it.

Claire's story is one of quiet unraveling.

As her past finally comes to light, the foundations she once trusted begin to collapse. Betrayed by those closest to her, she is left to confront a truth she can no longer ignore: some wounds do not heal, they transform.

Alongside Scarlett, she steps away from everything that once gave her meaning: family, love, and the fragile illusion of belonging. What follows is not escape, but acceptance. A shift. A point of no return.

A line is crossed.

A family is meant to be the backbone of society.

But when that backbone breaks, something else takes its place.

Something colder.

Something unrecognizable.

Something... like Claire Wyatt.

Claire; Primed for Flesh is a dark psychological novella and the first volume in the companion series to A Desire to be Free.
