Alone, but Never Alone

Homeless orphan, Yana is shunned by the people of Amble, who have come to fear the sight of animals, which leads unfortunate for her, because her traveling companion, Amicus, with whom she has an unbreakable supernatural bond to, just happens to take various forms of animals. One day she meets a very interesting boy who offers to take her and Amicus to a safer place. When she accepts, they leave Amble and seek a new home. All too soon Yana finds out that she is being pursued by strange creatures that want to take Amicus away from her, forever.
