The Story of Lily & Rowen: Amarusa
Within a heavily stratified, hierarchical wolf pack, one would not expect a simple hunter wolf to be concerned with a looming war abroad or even a local insurrectionist conflict. The life of a hunter was saddled with other imminent dangers that preoccupied this critically important, yet wholly unappreciated caste within the pack. ROWEN is one such wolf. Initially concerned only with feeding himself and his pack, an unlikely friendship with the pack's alpha-to-be has set Rowen on a path to become something much more. Now thrust into a new station as a border guard, Rowen must now participate in the pack's first line of defense along an area that is poorly patrolled and discreet - a perfect setting for an enemy contingent to slip by. A straightforward enough task quickly becomes complicated as Rowen meets a wolf along the border who has been harassed ceaselessly by his pack and merely wishes to live her life in peace. As her origins become clearer over time - and as they grow closer - Rowen must reassess his loyalties and his desires in life, for their association may well exist as a contradiction to his assigned tasks. One well-intentioned decision to keep a secret may lead to another, and a fateful meeting with a spiritual being may further complicate things as Rowen learns that history might not be what it seems. Will Rowen be successful in navigating the turbulence of his time without forsaking one loyalty for another? Will he emerge from these hardships unscathed, or will he be a changed wolf, for better or worse?
