The Trouble With Humans
Ten years ago, three children prevented a war between humans and fursons. Now Kitara, Komatsu, and Owen are grown—and discovering that making peace was the easy part.
Old fears have not disappeared. Human communities remain divided, distrust of the fursons runs deep, and there are those who would rather preserve generations of hatred than risk living beside their former enemies.
When a mysterious illness begins striking the furson population, suspicion spreads almost as quickly as the disease. As old accusations return and fragile alliances begin to fracture, Kitara, Komatsu, and Owen find themselves caught between communities that are once again preparing to blame one another.
Finding the cause of the illness may save lives.
Finding the truth may be the only thing that can save the peace.
With time running out, old friends and former enemies must decide whether the future will be determined by centuries of fear—or by the trust they have spent a lifetime trying to build.
Filled with adventure, mystery, humor, and heart, The Trouble With Humans is a fantasy about friendship tested by time, the courage to question old beliefs, and discovering that the greatest challenge isn't ending a war—it's learning how to live together afterward.
Ten years after their first meeting, friendship has become the easy part. Keeping the peace may be harder.
When Peace Is Tested
The friendships that once stopped a war now face a different kind of threat—one that reaches into homes, families, and the fragile trust between two worlds.
When fear returns, the danger becomes personal.
Peace was only the beginning. Now someone has to make it work.
Ten years older doesn't necessarily mean ten years wiser.
