Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge Keoni's life was simple. She, simply, took care of plants for people and spent the rest of her time reading. A long time ago, her family had disappeared, forcing her to live alone, her only company being her friend, Ryley. Other's lives were not. As Keoni is letting the days pass, someone unexpected shows his face. He is hurt, bruised and bleeding, but a single sight of him uncovers a buried side that Keoni hadn't felt in years. He knew exactly where her family was. This is the first draft of the first book in a series that my friend and I have been writing. There are many mistakes and inconsistencies in what is and is not canon, but I will upload this version first and then begin uploading the First Rework as we complete each part. Chapters with a heavy amount of dark themes, violence, or gore will appear as such:❗Chapter ___❗ Any feedback is highly encouraged, no matter how harsh or simple. Main characters are humanoid animals, most like Anthros.
