[-.GEMSTONE GUARDIANS; Runaway Kittens.-]

Seven stray dogs, each marked by a gemstone of mysterious magic, have formed an unlikely pack in a world that has often turned its back on them. Not an ordinary group of strays, these seven use their unique wits, strengths, and the enchanted powers of their stones to protect not only themselves but the vulnerable animals around them. Together, they navigate the challenges of survival-outwitting threats from harsh streets, dangerous humans, and the shadows of their own pasts.

Rusty, the gentle giant with the heart of a guardian; Flint, the fierce protector running from her past failures; Scout, the reluctant hunter longing for mercy; Shank, the escapee from the edge of despair; Rebel, the streetwise survivor with a clever spark; Soot, the once pampered beauty turned wild runner; and Captain, the border collie who never forgot the call of the fields-all carry their burdens and their hopes.

But their freedom is fragile. When animal control captures them, the pack is torn apart and scattered into new homes. Yet even separated, their spirits burn bright-they continue to fight for the wild places and the tame hearts still in need, proving that a pack is more than just a group, it's a bond unbroken by fences or fear.
