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

Scourge and Dannke fell as if life had drained from their bodies. Fleas saw that they were breathing. Had they fainted? Wait, what was that voice? 


A figure fell from the chandelier. Fleas was startled, but then he realized that it was a hyaenid. It was the matriarch! Approaching Dannke with a knife in her hand. 


"Nothing is over. As long as those disgusting creatures are alive, we can't be together." 


Together? What did she mean? As if he and the matriarch had never exchanged a word. Or was she talking about some other? Fleas grabbed her paw to stop her. She twitched and kicked him in the mouth. Fleas recoiled and touched his gum. It was bleeding. The matriarch was surprised, perhaps she had acted on impulse. 


"I don't understand what you're talking about. Nothing binds me to you."
