Millions of years in the future, the humans are gone and several animal species have evolved, some more than others. In this society technologically asymmetric to our own, body armor is highly advanced, but weapons are primitive and useless, and as such, skilled hand-to-hand fighters are a nation's first and last line of defense. Anteater siblings Jess and Ray are still young, but the Fox Nation has already entrusted them as warriors. Their quest to investigate the warlike wolves to the south sounds simple enough at first, but the wolves prove to be more than the unintelligent savages of childhood storybooks, and an old enemy lurks within their ranks.

She spent her entire life working to enter the priesthood, but the real test comes after after her initiation--such is the way of the gods.
