"Lily, a photographer, is searching for the animal people; those who were here when the world was created and shortly afterwards. One night in her searches she is attacked and saved by Hank a do-gooder outcast. Cody is in Newford searching for Raven's pot with which he intends to change the entire world. It is up to the corbae to try and stop him and save those close to them from destruction in the process."
