Jev Bjorn is a sixteen year old teenager growing up on Earth’s first colony world Alessi, which, for the past five years, has been ruthlessly controlled by a reptilian alien race known as the T’kri. Kiyel Lhevic is a telepathic felinoid crew member of the Caitaran scout ship Lekur, shot down by the T’kri while attempting to ascertain why a probe—which had been launched to this previously uninhabited world a decade earlier—suddenly ceased functioning.

They were of two different species, from two different worlds, brought together by chance, and yet their meeting would herald the beginnings of an alliance that could finally see the T’kri defeated and driven from Alessi for good. But old prejudices may ultimately prove the more deadly enemy as Jev and Kiyel quickly find themselves pitted against not only a conquering alien race, but also the fear and hatred from both their people.

The Kindred, genetically engineered human and animal hybrids, were originally created by Doctor Per Wolff to assist in the fight against terrorism which had spread across the world like a plague. But to Doctor Wolff, the Kindred were more than mere soldiers. They were the next logical step in human evolution and the future of the human race itself. So strong were his convictions, in fact, that Lucas, his six-year-old son, was made a Kindred in order to cure him of the leukaemia that was slowly killing him. He was the first.

Almost thirty years later, with the fight against the terrorists long over, the Kindred were finally recognized as persons under the law, allowing them to be full members of society. Lucas Wolff was now twenty-nine-years-old, but still looked very much like a teenager, albeit a very furry one thanks to his Kindred genes which made him part red fox. While on one of his frequent walks one cool spring night, he unexpectedly came upon a despondent young man who, unbeknownst to him, would change the course of his life forever.

When Jaed was told he and his parents were going camping, he was less than enthusiastic to say the least. In fact, he completely hated the idea.

Very quickly, however, he discovered this camping trip was going to be a whole lot different from the others.

It all started with a rather jarring encounter with Kobi, a wolf Kindred he runs into on his first day. Very quickly a friendship is struck between the Kindred youths. As they and their families spend more time together, their bond grows even stronger.

But as with everything fun, all too soon their camping trip would come to an end. Little did either of them know, though, that they were to have another fateful encounter that promised to quickly change their lives.

But Sandra’s handler underestimated her intelligence, allowing her the opportunity to escape. Chance soon introduced her to Kyu, a Jegani fleeing pursuit from others of his kind. Their freedom was short-lived, however, and both soon found themselves captured only to be dropped onto another world along with over a hundred captured slaves. Now, with Kyu’s help, they must discover a way to survive together in a world that is completely alien to both their species.

They were a fox and a wolf, two species who never should have met. Jeremiah the fox lived in a small cabin in a vast forest that separated their two villages. He was an outcast of sorts, in that he never quite fit in with the other foxes, so he chose to live alone. That is until by chance he came across a lone male wolf, injured in a particularly vicious trap and clearly near death from loss of blood.

Jeremiah could have left the wolf there to die. After all, there was no love lost between foxes and wolves, who regularly hunted one another for sport. But instead he took pity on the wolf and dressed his wounds. He never wanted or even expected a close friendship to develop between them, and certainly could not foresee that the two would fall in love. Their relationship had to remain a secret, however, for should they be discovered both their peoples@rsquo; would surely hunt them down and kill them.

Circumstances, however, would soon force the two lovers to not only reveal their hidden love for one another, but also somehow find a way to bring both their people together in order to fend off a looming danger. For if they failed in this, both their villages would surely perish.
