Plot[edit]
Yilon is a young fox noble who's just come of age, in the city of Divalia. Apart from his best friend and sometime lover Sinch, a mouse, he doesn't like much about living there and wants to leave the city. One day, a stranger arrives with a message that the Lord of Dewanne has died and appointed Yilon his heir, in a city where foxes rule, and mice are relegated to menial jobs and a slum outside the main city. Yilon hatches a plan to get sent home, but soon finds that even in a backwards town, there are complicated politics, ancient blood feuds, and family betrayals, with at least two different groups trying to kill him, and the foxes who might help him are the very ones he's done his best to alienate.
