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, 1800's.
