This is a work in progress and such is incomplete. Some dates are estimated according to a characters age (i.e. if they're currently 28 in a book that takes place in a particular year and state that something happened when they were five years old).
Set in an alternate world in the late 2070's and 2080's, the series tells the soul-mate romance stories of couples, underscored with the political dynamics of the alternate world. Most soul-mate couples cross racial lines (e.g., Psy-changeling, leopard-wolf, human-changeling).
General[]
In the near future of an alternate universe, the story line involves growing revolutionary movements that threaten to upset the balance of power. As the series begins in 2079, a telepathic race called the Psy have been the dominant global power for almost a hundred years while subjecting themselves to something called Silence. One hundred years ago, the Psy Council found itself faced with a growing number of killers, driven insane by their inability to live a normal life while trying to control their powerful psychic abilities. Silence sought to eliminate emotion from the Psy, preventing some of their more unstable members from becoming murderers and allowing their people to use their talents without harming themselves or others.
Races[]
Changelings, a race that can shift into an animal form, are divided into packs and have mostly squabbled over territory with no overarching authority between packs, making unifying for a cause difficult.
Humans do not have air-tight mental shields like changelings to protect them from the Psy, who in the pursuit of business, have been known to steal brilliant ideas from humans and leave them for destitution. A group called the Human Alliance have begun trying to take down the Psy Council. They're generally considered the weakest race.
The changelings have always hated the supremacy of the Psy, but a successful business alliance has evolved between the two groups so that they have, on the surface, a relatively civil relationship. However, the balance has begun to shift, starting with the alliance of two powerful packs in California: the DarkRiver pack based in San Francisco, and the SnowDancer pack controlling the rest of California.
Under the surface, though, there's something much more threatening to the stability of the PsyNet and all Psy that's been brewing since Silence was implemented. As the series advances, the Psy rebellion grows in strength, but the powerful Psy purists fight back. Eventually, the PsyNet itself begins to fail in portions, from a degradation that started when humans and emotions were removed from the network. The underlying message of the series is that emotions are a necessary and valuable part of life and love.
Advancements[]
Since Psy-Changeling is set in the near future, there are certain technological advancements that are considered common and non-remarkable.
18th Century[]
Territorial Wars[]
- 1700s — The Territorial Wars ravage the changelings, until a human, Adrian Kenner, negotiated the Peace Accord for the packs, forming rules of engagement, boundaries, enforcement, environmental care, and territory.
Human Alliance[]
The Human Alliance is born in the ashes of the Territorial Wars three centuries ago.
The chairman had fouled something humans had created after the Territorial Wars as a way to rebuild their lives. Now that powerful business/education network was under fire around the world, with innocent men and women being accused of masterminding violence. Bowen had to prove the Alliance was more than that—first to their members, then to the world.[1]
