"When wild and mage together come, one in six or six in one. Empires rise or empires fall, the unborn child begins it all." It was this prophecy that sent Emperor Leopald's invasion forces into the kingdom of Aydori. For Aydori was ruled by the Hunt Pack -- werewolves -- and the Mage-pack--masters of the six disciplines: air, fire, water, earth, metals, healing. Even led by the Hunt Pack and aided by mage-craft, could Aydori's troops withstand the emperor's new weapons -- from hot air balloons, to long-range rockets, to guns loaded with the silver bullets deadly to the Pack? As his armies wreaked havoc on the border, the emperor ordered a squad deep into Aydori to capture the six pregnant mages of the prophecy. Using ancient magical devices to nullify their powers, Captain Sean Reiter and his team easily captured five women of the Mage-pack, including the wife of the Pack Leader. Yet the prophecy said they needed six. So, while most of the men headed back with their prize, Reiter and a smaller group continued the search. And they found Mirian Maylin. Mirian had won a place at the mages' university with incredibly high scores. Yet all she had accomplished there was to qualify at first level in five of the six disciplines when she should have been achieving mastery in one. She'd been told not to return. Witnessing the enemy's kidnapping of the women, Mirian headed for the battlefront to report it to the Pack Leader. On the way, she fell prisoner to Reiter and his men. And it was only thanks to the Pack Leader's younger brother Tomas Hagen that Mirian escaped. With Captain Reiter in pursuit, the two of them began a desperate race to rescue the captured mages. But even if Mirian and Tomas evaded Reiter and reached the mages in time, what chance did they have against ancient magic, the latest scientific advances, and a mad emperor's entire army?
