The Canid Chronology Book Two: The Immortal Order

In the aftermath of the human invasion, agents on both sides conspire as sentiments for conflict spur through Altharia. Amid it all, Ashiy the fox has been named a hero. Much to his discomfort, the title interests both lords and ambassadors. Inexperienced with the powers at play and lacking a trustworthy mentor, Ashiy grapples with some of the most important decisions of his life. Which invitations from Altharia's nobles should he accept? Which should he flee? Despite his growing fear over a war brewing between men and animals, Ashiy finds that deep down, his heart leads him only to help a grieving companion...

Ziliac, the split-eyed wolf, is honor bound to face the parents of his lifelong friend. However, delivering the tragic news of their son's murder is not the only reason he dreads returning home to Sepplecretem. It was a hard place to grow up, rife with bullies and famed for its eerie crypts. What's more, the city is overshadowed by the Marrows - a controlling and powerful order of animal scholars who guard the tombs and hoard dangerous secrets. When Ziliac discovers that his friend's killer, the mysterious masked witch known only as Dusklight, remains at large, his mission changes to one of vengeance. And the Marrows might know something about her. Consumed with anger and haunted by visions foretelling doom, Ziliac must tread carefully. A single wrong move could ensnare him and Ashiy into the order's web of dark plots.

This new quest might change both of them -- if they survive it.
