Book 1 of The Animal Guild Series, this novel is a fantasy with action, adventure, animals and magic.
Out in the wilds, animals band together in “Guilds” for mutual protection and fellowship, led by officers who take care of their guilds while honoring the gods of the Far Lands. Corto, a terrier, believes that he is a perfect leader and can be one of those officers, so he enrolls in Officer Training School to prove his worth. But wanting to lead is one thing; how can the little dog reach his goal when his rude conceit and distrust of others keep getting in the way? Because he once lost someone he loved, he has become so afraid of friendship and depending on others that he might not even graduate.
Corto will need the help of Sev, a mysterious ferret who keeps having weird visions about his future, and Renard, a fox whose tolerant, persistent friendship may bring out Corto’s true nature -- except that Corto refuses both friendships and doesn’t even believe in the Far Land gods. What’s worse, the powerful leader of a gang of bully dogs in Town is out to kill him, maybe even before his Officer Training begins...
