The word hummed through him like a song... The sky, it called to him.

On a far-distant planet known as Zada, the animals of Earth have found a safe haven, free to continue their evolution without interference. Until now.

For Renard, a young fox, life has not been easy. Born the runt of his litter, he was the least likely to survive to adulthood, much less become a hero of his people. He was separated from his family by a freak accident: left cold, alone, and near death. He might have died that day, should have died, but a stroke of luck saved him. Renard was found, and adopted, by Yoshi: an aged raccoon-dog who could give the young fox the tools he needed to survive. Yoshi was a trained master in the art of self-defense, and looking for a promising pupil...

Armed with this knowledge, Renard set out on a journey, hoping to discover his purpose, and to test his skills. Along the way, he met many fantastic creatures and forged lifelong friendships.

Renard and his friends would later stumble upon a message, one that would change their lives. They learned that an invading force had set its sights on Zada: a race of conquerors known as the Verans. Zada, with its abundant natural resources, was their next target.

The young Zadans faced a truly Herculean task: unite their people and drive off the invasion. Failure would mean total annihilation: the extinction of their people and the enslavement of their home. They knew they could not fail.

I am a lifetime book lover, especially fantasy and sci-fi, but I also enjoy mysteries and techno-thrillers. I am educated in marine biology and environmental science. I have a SCUBA certification, but diving gives me horrible anxiety, so I stick to snorkeling. I love being out in nature: hiking and bird-watching. When I'm not reading, I play video games. My favorites are RPGs and adventure games. Fun fact about me: I study Kyokushin karate!
