The North has a talent for calling theft by prettier names. Order. Civilization. Peace. But peace is just war with better manners. And manners are a muzzle. In the capital, the elite drink to clean hands and bright futures. Far to the south, the land remembers. People remember. The Unity Front of Southern Krovograd (UFOSK) spreads in fragments: pamphlets, smoke on the horizon. Not an army you can parade. Something harder to kill. There is no hero to this story. Only wretched pawns in expensive clothes. You pay for the violence of your ancestors. Or you become it. Is it a tragedy because it didn't have to end this way or because it was always going to? This is survival of the shittiest.

They swung open the cage door, cattle prods at full power, humming with electricity. The man lazily lifted his hands in surrender. "Now, now." He said softly. His voice was like velvet. "No need. I'll do as you please." The man in the cage said, his eyes straying to her. "You know what it is we want beastling." The man with the pale eyes said. The caged man shot him a glance, something dancing just below the surface of his calm, relaxed demeanor. The air in the room was electric. The man locked eyes with her, sending a shiver through her whole body. She felt like a rabbit in the jaws of a wolf- struggling, but doomed. Then, his eyes still on hers, he began to change. --- When Theophania Pennrose arrives in Ilaross, a tiny town tucked away in the recesses of the Alaskan wilderness, she is under the impression that she's simply there to visit her dear younger brother Dimetreaus.
