In the middle of the savannah lives a tribe of hyaenids, men half hyena, and what some humans of the Seasonal Continent call gnolls. A small cub, victim of constant mistreatment, sleeps amidst nightmares and lives without desire. Until he meets the young daughter of the most powerful matriarch.
Meanwhile, behind the Great Wall, the humans of the Iurio Empire live their lives at the expense of the non-human slaves.
Rumors of the emperor's death spread across the savannah. This news accelerates the Solar Kingdom's plans to invade the Empire.
The species and philosophies of each are about to collide in an unprecedented conflict that will transform all living creatures, trolls, orcs, gnomes, avians, hyaenids, and humans. What will emerge from this confrontation?

Fleas - Songs of the Gnolls I

The sewers were overflowing. It was difficult to move around without running into a sheltered human family. This caused the rats to flee, and Fleas didn't have much to eat. But it didn't matter. 


Pli coordinated everything with incredible mastery. In his time with Dannke, he had heard from humans that gnomes were stupid. This human must be eating his words right now. Pli lay back and sighed, exhausted. Fleas came over and sat down beside him. 


"I don't know how much longer we can hold out here. The food is running out faster and faster, our patience is wearing thin. We have everything to lose..." 


"But we saved a lot of lives," Fleas added. "That's worth something. So we haven't lost everything." 


Fleas suddenly became silent and lifted his nose. That smell... It couldn't be! He jumped to his paws and smiled. 


"I think it's Surly, yes, it must be. Somehow it's here."
