Ilya Pytrovich Leschyov, master Systemist and Spetsnaz elite, is the last of his team. Hunted by his own government, he is given a second chance in the United States by the Flayne Institute--a new identity, a new life, a new Spetsnaz team. What he wasn't expecting was to be changed into an anthropomorphic rat, the most wily of mammals, to train a new generation of humanoid animal warriors. When his new team is delivered in the form of six African Painted Wolf cubs, he must make a decision to save his conscience or the lives around him at the Flayne Institute. Celine Ilorsaint has always been a quiet rebel. She gave up a lucrative career, a rich family, all for love and driving principle, choosing instead to be a starving artist, the wife of a poor man, drawing the limelight in a different way. She is kidnapped on the way home from an artist's gathering. Awakening to a cage of animal people, she is involved in a fortuitous escape that leaves a group of these freaks-of-nature in her care. The choice before her is simple: turn a blind eye to their plight or live in obscurity. Can she forsake everything she knows once again to help those that the Universe has thrown at her feet?
