Genre: Historical Fiction, Multigenre, Regency Romance, Fantasy. The human race doesn't exist, only demihumans, part human and part animal, they exhibit some traits of their animal counterparts such as ears, tails, or wings. The country Asmana is said to be a cultural melting pot where many species of demihumans ("demis") can coexist, but there are tensions depending on type of animal. Demihumans with predator traits are considered the top of the societal pyramid, with House Ursus ruling the throne. Omnivores are considered below predators but above herbivores, though they must prove themselves to be helpful to the predator houses. Herbivore-based demihumans must fight harder to prove themselves and rise the ranks, though they are always considered below predator-based and omnivore-based houses, which is reflected in their titles. The capital of Asmana is Oresas. Earth, Asmana, 1780's.

Backstory

Barnard was born to take the throne one day. He just never expected it to come so soon. Asmana is at war with its neighbor, Cuthon, and the Cuthonians sent assassins who successfully killed Barnard’s parents, King Adalbern and Queen Calysta, forcing Barnard to ascend to the throne. Barnard is suspicious of his father’s advisors, unsure who is trustworthy and who betrayed his parents to the Cuthonians, so he is secretly forming his own advisory under everyone’s noses, finding skilled people and bringing them to the palace as his ‘concubini’.

Backstory

As the third-born son of a man who’s brother is a Duke, Jasper knew he was more likely to die penniless than inherit a title. But he was raised to be a soldier in the Asmanan Army, and he was damn good at that, rising through the ranks faster than many of his titled cousins. But in a battle against Cuthonian forces, his leg was shot by an arrow dipped in a toxin. His leg was cut off in the field and he was quickly brought to the Army doctors who did their best to keep him alive. Jasper was then discharged against his will since he was no longer fit to fight or serve. He was furious, demanding to be brought back into the fray, and he would go to his cousins’ houses, demanding that they let him join again. It became the talk of House Lupus and King Barnard heard of it. He invited Jasper to a private meeting in the palace, said he valued Jasper’s words and knowledge and though he couldn’t officially make Jasper an advisor so soon after ascending to the throne, he could claim Jasper as a concubinus and secretly use the wolf man as an advisor of the war efforts.

Relationships:

• Barnard: respects Barnard, they have a friendship based on respect and understanding. He knows Barnard will listen to him and he respects Barnard both as a man and a king. He would gladly die in an effort to keep Barnard alive. He sees Barnard as a sort of savior to him, someone who took a chance on him when Jasper was at his lowest and is incredibly loyal to him.
• Valentine: Jasper likes to present as easily irritable when it comes to Valentine due to the cat demihuman’s playful and teasing manner. But he does genuinely care for the bratty cat man. He thinks Valentine is incredibly intelligent though the cat seems to prefer to hide that intelligence.

Backstory

Valentine’s story is a common one among the poorer folk of House Felis, born as the bastard son of one of the House’s whores and raised to be like his mother, another nameless hole for the elite and titled to fuck and dump. But Valentine wanted more. He didn’t want fame and recognition, but he knew the power behind words. So he began secretly publishing works at a nearby printing house and his works were spread quickly around Asmana for their daring narratives, blatant questioning of power, and the eloquent yet easily accessible writing. He, or rather his nome de plume, Preston Reed, became a voice of the common people. One day he was stopped during a session with a client, his maquereau barged in and said there was an important visitor for Valentine. Val went to the other room and saw King Barnard waiting for him, who explained he traced the printings back to the printing house and had soldiers ask the men there who ‘Preston’ was. Valentine thought he was going to be executed, but Barnard proposed an unconventional idea. Valentine came to the palace as a concubinus for Barnard though he works with Barnard and Jasper. He continues to write as he pleases though he now also writes in favor of King Barnard and the war effort, encouraging subjects to donate what they can and help the war effort in any small way.
