Prologue

In the far distant future, the human race has vanished - replaced by the Furrae - hybrids of beast and man. Acres of land lie barren, and magick has become a reality. Abigail, a young lemur-wolf hybrid begins her term at the University of Magick, but something foul is afoot, and nothing is at it seems.

This was my NaNoWriMo novel back in 2003 and still sits unfinished on my hard-drive. It is an epic - already spanning nearly 100,000 words. Please excuse the terrible cover. My art has improved greatly in the last 9 years, and I WILL be redoing it, when I finish this tale. Inspiration lies in Harry Potter, Patrick Rothfuss, China Mieville, Redwall, Phillip Reeve, ElfQuest and whatever else I was reading at the time.
