Sad, Brown Eyes

Juliana Russo has always been fascinated by animals. They were once strong, elegant, magnificent creatures. She wondered what the world had been like when they roamed. The Freeze had wiped them all out. Every animal... extinct. If it weren't for Gerard Black's Anichanicals the world wouldn't have a taste of an animals power. Juliana never imagined she'd ever see a living, breathing animal.

Until she meets Carlo Costa. He reveals to Juliana an old plan to bring back animals and how Gerard Black has struggled for years to prevent that from happening.

When Juliana gets taken by Gerard Black's men, she wonders what she has to do with any of this. She's never even left the small New Tuscany town she grew up in. Yet, somehow, Juliana is the worlds only chance for the animals to return.
