The Fauna and the Flora: Book 1 - Return to Chenoa City: Return to Chenoa City

Small animals bring big drama in this anthropomorphic soap opera where the claws come out... literally.

Filled with romance, betrayal, a corporate takeover, and a shocking return from the dead-this isn't just a book. It's the world's first soap opera in print. The Fauna and the Flora is a genre-bending, first-of-its-kind crossover, steeped in emotional, character-driven storytelling. Inspired by the daytime drama you know and love, prepare for plot twists, catfights, and a cliffhanger that will leave you feeling... restless.

A Breakthrough First of Its Kind

A daring blend of animal fantasy and literary drama, The Fauna and the Flora bridges the worlds of furry fiction fantasy and soap opera nostalgia. This collectible paperback edition brings the experience off the screen and into your paws-a talking animal novel for adults who grew up on retro television and crave something bold, emotional, and new.

In this forest woodland fantasy world, familiar themes-love triangles, power struggles, shocking returns-are reborn through fur, feathers, and claws. A stunning example of anthropomorphic literature, it's both a literary drama book and a gift for soap fans who appreciate furry fiction fantasy and forest-born storytelling. The result is a richly imagined adult animal fantasy paperback series that reads like prestige TV... in book form.

Critical Acclaim from the Forest

"Victor Newmouse built the empire, but JackRabbitt Abbitt has the claws-and who you think is the hero might just be the villain."

- Kritters Literary Review

"Power struggles at Newmouse Enterprises, beauty at Shabó Cosmetics, and a scandalous Gala at The Colonnade House-Chenoa City's drama is as tangled as the forest itself."

- Fur & Fiction

"In a forest where trees are skyscrapers, pumpkin houses make a cozy home, and crows carry secrets on the wind-the forest fuels the drama as mice, rabbits, squirrels, and owls battle for control."

- The Treetop Times
