Altered Creatures have roamed Terra Australis for thousands of years. Conflicts and battles have come and gone. Humans and Polenums have built a massive wall to keep the creatures away so they can live in peace. However, a few cities live outside the safety of the wall, allowing all species and races to live together. Shoreview is one of these cities and it is riddled with challenges and mystery while cultures clash and travelers bring unforeseen opportunities and risks to three youngsters who frequently find themselves over their head. Witnessing a cloaked outsider murder an Altered Creature, the three young Polenums take it upon themselves to find evidence to prove their case before bringing it to the law. In doing so, they find they are on the edge of becoming the next victims in Shoreview.
