Description
In this world, humans raise animals to put meals on the table. And now animals are raising humans for the same purpose. Are they human, beasts, or something else entirely? None of the above.
"The strong consume the flesh of the weak" is the only law of this world. Baring its fangs at the hypocrisy and half-baked morality of modern life, this traumatic and provocative fable of reversal explores new territory with its second volume.
