In seventh grade, every student is required to live a military like life for 3 months, to see if they can serve their country in the future. Quiet Silvya Demillo fits right in at the military, and is put in a special divsion, that works on creating portals to other realms. When the government sends her into an unstable portal, she is stuck in Jamaa for an unknown amount of time. She meets Greely, the only animal that knows about humans, and is capable of swapping back and forth between his wolf anf human form, they are fast friends, and maybe even more. When Jamaa must fight the phantoms however, and Silvya is the one that must kill the kings, Greely can't keep her a secret any longer. Also, I imagine the characters, that are animals, to look a little more like they do in real life.
