From Back Cover: There is a path we start out on in our lives; I'm not sure when the path begins, because it is different for each person. I believe the path begins when a person makes the first conscious decision to pursue their own life in the way they want to live it- regardless of the influences of others. The path is not constant. Sometimes the road is smooth and easy to walk and sometimes it is rough and rocky. There are hills and mountains in the way. There are rivers to cross and oceans of tears threatening to drown. Come now. The path is waiting for us. Life is ready to be lived; love and understanding is ready to be shared. Let's follow The Path.

It all started when an excess of radioactive material had leaked into the earth's core, causing the emergence of new plants, chemicals, and resources across the planet. Since then, the world has been plagued with acidic hurricanes, fireball showers, blood-burning bacteria, and a multitude of other bizarre environmental disasters and diseases.To cope with the dangers of the new environment and emerging diseases, a mysterious scientist named Dr. Z genetically engineered surviving animals into powerful beasts known as genopets. These beasts were created with the powers to regulate the environmental changes and cure some of the deadliest diseases. Political turmoil over Dr. Z's creation of the genopets eventually caused the remaining human survivors to be segregated into clans based on race, with each clan responsible for training a specific species of genopets to regulate the conditions across specific parts of the world.But when the mysterious scientist suddenly loses contact with all the clan leaders and genopets, both the social structure and natural environment of the world fall apart.

18-year-old Nira Dharni and her boyfriend, Taren Tasmin, have been in a happy relationship for five years, but now, every human and genopet in their clan has been slaughtered by the ruthless Firefang Clan. While Nira is adopted by a new clan, Taren is forced to join the Firefang Clan and aid them in their plot to dominate the other clans, including Nira's. ---It all started when an excess of radioactive material had leaked into the earth's core, causing the emergence of new plants, chemicals, and resources across the planet.
