Rhan's new clan prospered, if only temporarily, as a threat soon arrived from the north in the form of Latarji and several other Taroc who had no intention of coexisting peacefully with the human females. They wanted to dominate, rule and conquer. That they had been busy taking over power for much longer became apparent when they started to aim the heavy long-range weapons at the settlements of the cooperating clans. The small bright spot that Vsar and Ellen, Rhan and Gh’ara had managed to achieve through their collaborations was almost nipped in the bud by the war that broke out in the following years. But where previously the Shri’Traccal men and human women were diametrically opposed, now many a clan worked together to stop the advance of Latarji and his followers. The following story takes you to the aftermath of the Twelve Years’ War. !! I do not own the pictures used in the cover, one of the images is made by Gabriel Wigierski.!!
