Synopsis

In a far-future Earth where werewolves, vampires, and magicians coexist uneasily with enslaved humans, two separate tales of struggle unfold. One follows Dreadful Sam and Trina as they journey down the Twilight River seeking a sanctuary for human dignity. Meanwhile, across the galaxy, a tery defies his people's oppressors by asserting his own humanity in a desperate fight for freedom. This collection presents two distinct science fiction novellas.
