In 2078. Young 17 year old, Ren Wakaba is half wolf, and half human. The 'normal' people who are completely human, have segregated his kind for centuries. "Grit your teeth and bear it." his parents always told him. He stayed strong, and stood by as best he could. He would always be understanding. Until they killed his family, when he was 12. He snapped. He hates humans, except a select five. Four of which, his best friends, who didn't give a fuck about his race. The fifth, his boyfriend, he loves him with all his heart. His boyfriend and friends, are racism protesters as well. His boyfriend, Nathaniel Harris, protects him from racist people as best he can. Ren is appreciative of his friends, but is determined, and doesn't need their help. Or so he thought. Once he goes off on his own, what will happen? He doesn't care, he's not afraid of dying. One thing is for sure. They killed his family for no reason. If they kill him, he's going to make sure they have one.

Set in 2024, the story takes place 30 years after the events of Silverlake, where evolved animals were finally accepted into human society thanks to Emily and Nathan's friendship, which made history worldwide. Unfortunately, there are still humans who harbor prejudice against evolved animals, but the extreme prejudice of the past has ceased. This novella tells the story of Peter, a 10-year-old boy who is an evolved animal, but genetically different from the rest of the population. Feared and excluded, he is seen as "the next stage in the evolution of evolved animals", suffering prejudice from both evolved animals and humans. His life changes when he meets Travis and Karina, two 10-year-old human kids. Karina suffers xenophobia for being Brazilian and Travis suffers racism for being biracial. The true friendship that blooms between them teaches Peter that it's okay to be different and that asking for help is a sign of strength. Being unique is the true wonder.
Following the suggestion of my friend, Tsu Kheel, I decided to try to expand the universe of my second book, Silverlake. And the cover art was done by myself and my best friend, NOTG. Yes, we did this art together, where I drew two human characters and he drew one furry character, in addition to coloring the entire drawing. Thank you so much for doing this collab with me, dear friend 💖 If you want to see his work, search for notg_arts on Instagram and support his arts, which is truly beautiful and wonderful!
