Vaka is the son of a clan leader, but for hyenas, being male means being second best. When tradition forces him to leave home on his second birthday, the former prince reluctantly joins a rival clan and finds himself at the very bottom of their pecking order. This soon inspires Vaka to escape and begin recruiting other rogues to form his own all-male clan. Can he manage his new followers and old enemies, or will his rise to power be his undoing?
