Stand Alone Stories:
Harbinger
Born a three-legged crow, Rook knows he must hide what he is to protect himself from those who would take advantage. Living as a normal crow is difficult as they're seen as bad luck and harbingers of doom. Ostracized, Rook grows up happily despite the enmity of everyone around him. Still, when he grows up, he heads off to the city where he can live a life of anonymity.
Until Mother calls him back home and Rook returns to find doom has arrived without him, and he might be the only thing standing between his town and utter destruction.

Vivary Tales
The Vivarium is what the people call the local guardhouse. The foot soldiers who comb the streets, searching for clues and arresting culprits are known as The Dogs and their leader called The Wolf. The spies hunting the dark alleys, digging out secrets and looking for bad guys are the secretive Cats, of whom not much is known.
The silent black panther, the elusive lynx, the friendly jackal, and the powerful wolf are a few who work at the low-city Vivarium, solving crime and helping the people, and perhaps even saving themselves in the process.
