In an alternative earth history, humans are not the dominate species. When humans arrive in Thaisia, the equivalent to North America, their negotiations for land are with a much stronger group of predators known as “the Others” that includes shapeshifters, vampires, Elementals, and the Elders. Humans can only lease the land and the wild country is filled with others who consider humans “clever meat.” When Meg Corbyn, human, but also a cassandra sangue or blood prophet, stumbles into bookstore in the Others’ Courtyard where human laws do not apply, she is running from a human. Simon Wolfgard is the leader who is trying to find better ways to work with humans, but Meg does not smell like prey, as all other humans do. Watching Meg and the Others work together to learn from each other while a determined group tries to get her back fills this story with both excitement and humor. It also is an interesting study of various types of human nature and how they can bring lasting consequences to a situation.
